For ensuring a blade’s long life we must first have all the right conditions guaranteeing the best results.
Factors such as a minimum amount of lubricating oil and functioning brushes for the total removal of chips from the tooth profile are indispensable prerequisites for limited wear and prevention of chip interference during machining.
Brushes positioned correctly up to the base of the tooth groove guarantee the cleaning of the gullet without creating accumulations for the next entry into the cut.
It is always very important to periodically check the oil content of the emulsion with a hand refractometer which should be adjusted to the materials being cut:
The main purposes of the cooling lubricant are:
With ideal basic conditions, serious consideration must be given to breaking-in the blade, which should be carried out over 15-30 minutes and avoiding vibrations.
The correct break-in parameter settings will be determined by the treatment characteristics of the blade, the material and its size and obviously by the rigidity of the bandsaw.
