  1. Types of saw blades • Crosscut • used to make smooth cuts across the grain • Rip • used to make smooth fast cuts with the grain • Combination • used to make fast cuts with or across the grain • Carbide tipped • more expensive but have a longer life

  2. Dado head • used for make selected dado cuts

  3. Other saw blades • Hacksaw • is selected by length, gauge, set of teeth, teeth per inch, and metal hardness. • Band saw • similar to hacksaw blade, except it is a continuous blade • Both of these types should be selected to to allow three teeth to be in contact with the surface being cut.

  4. Sabre saw blades • Three types • 1.knife • for cutting leather • 2.metal cutting • have 16 to 32 teeth per inch • 3.wood cutting • have 6 to 12 teeth per inch

  5. Portable circular saw • Parts • trigger switch • guard lift handle • anti-kickback clutch • retractable guard • blade • handle • power cord • angle scale • tilt lock knob • tilt base

  6. Uses of the portable circular saw • replaces the handsaw in most cases • takes the place of the bench or table saw • use in same or different location on any particular job • used for ripping, crosscutting, dodoing, grooving,angle cuts,bevels and mitres. • Considered one of the most important labor saving pieces of equipment in the shop • WHY?

  7. Procedure for using the circular saw • select a sharp blade of the correct type • properly adjust the saw and be sure all thumbscrews are tight • blade should be installed so that the teeth turn up toward the saw base • teeth should extend below the thickness of the material to be cut to a distance equal to the depth of the teeth • secure material to be cut

  8. start saw before blade touches the work • saw only in a forward direction • must be guided along a straight line • both hands should be used if possible • at the end of the cut release the trigger switch and allow the blade to follow through as the saw is lifted away from work

  11. Uses of the sabre saw • referred to as electric jigsaws or bayonet saws • make a reciprocating motion or orbital or oval motion • allows the cut to be made on the upward stroke and the release of the chips on the downward stroke • stroke of blade is about 1 inch • saw cut varies from about 3200 to 4200 strokes per minute

  12. motor sizes vary from about 1/6 to 1/2 HP • considered to be very versatile • can cut wood, sheet metal, plastics, fiberglass, rods, tubing, rubber, masonite, leather, and other materials • to use this for different types of materials, the blade has to be the right type
