Helpful Hints For Saw Users (H.S.S. Metal-Working Saws)
These are general suggestions for conventional machines on where to start, and must be varied to meet a particular application. We do not assume
any liability in the following statements.
These STOCK saws will do the job. Variations, such as number of teeth, rake angle, clearance angle, bevel, side clearance, material, land, etc. may
do it better, but set-up charges and lead time must be considered.
SPEEDS — With a good set-up the speeds in the table below should be attainable
— Reduce the speed for hard (over Rockwell c30) and abrasive materials, and for deep cuts.
— Increase the speed for “free-machining” and non-ferrous metals.

Flexible Plastics Use Set Teeth (Hub saw with maximum side clearance for very thin cuts)
FEEDS — will vary from .0002” to .002” per tooth. We suggest starting with the cutter described above and trying to arrive at the condition described
under “Cutting Fluids” by varying the Feed and Speed. A straw color is the limit. The saw loses its temper when it starts turning blue.
CUTTING FLUIDS — (to cool, lubricate, and wash the chips away. Use Flood. Do not use Mist Units.)
Cutting Oil — Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions - or - use a 4% sulphur homogenized cutting oil.
Soluble Oil — Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions - or - use 40-1 solution of soluble oil — (Mix thoroughly in a 4 - 1 solution before adding
to tank.) Increase speed and feed until the lubricant starts to give off a slight vapor (smoke).
Frequently saws are run too slow, causing rubbing and premature wear.
DISH — (Side-Clearance or Hollow Grind) Increase it for stainless steel and tenacious metals such as copper, zinc, tin or lead.
MOUNTING OF SAWS — Breakage — Wobble — Rubbing: These problems may be caused by the way the washers are mounted on either side
of the saw. — Washers drive the saw, in the absence of a driving key, and must always be clean, flat and bur-free. A speck of
dirt will let the saw wobble and cut oversize. If a saw breaks, it may score the washers. Check marks around the saw hole for:
Dirt, Shiny Spots (as small as a pinpoint, indicating chips imbedded under the washers), and Circular Skid Marks, which indicate
the nut is not tight. — Thin saws should especially be supported by washers as large as possible. — Nut must be wrench-tight.
— If the saw blade pauses momentarily in its rotation while the feed advances, it will break. — Washers must be of equal diam-
eter or they will flex out the dish and cause one side of the teeth to rub.
(There should be at least 2 teeth engaged in the cut.)
Increase Number of Teeth For: Decrease Number of Teeth For:
— Thin Material — Sandy Castings — Chip Clearance and Tooth Strength
— Thin Cuts (under .025”) — Thin Castings (Consider MSL & SMF type saws.)
— Slow Spindle Speeds — Work Hardened — Deep Cuts (over 1/4”)
— Hard Material — Hard Spots — High Speeds
— Free Cutting Material
