Band Saw Information Conclusion

Correct tooth design and feed speeds require both calculation and experimental work.

The main problem is to consider factors such as raw material supply, market requirements, maintenance work in the mill etc. Sometimes wood species classified as soft according to specific gravity behave as hardwood with regard to texture, content of silica compounds etc. However, some of the general rules presented may help to start trial-and-error activities from a reasonable level.

Example of calculated sawing data in a soft-wood mill showing maximum feed speed and used gullet at a fixed feed speed for different diameter classes.
