saw move this way to cut

• Saw types,

Circular saws - use round blades rotated at high speeds. Band saw - a band is in one continuous loop-, like a ribbon.

Hack saw - a small blade much like a steel ruler. This is moved back and forth (it reciprocates) to provide the cutting action.

• Saw operations include,

Cutoff - one smaller piece of stock is cut from a larger one.

Contouring - a bandsaw is used to cut a non-straight path in an object, often this step precedes other machining operations, such as drilling.

Stack Cutting - multiple pieces are cut at the same time. Shaping - Chunks are cut out of a larger piece.

Angular Cuts - such as cutting a side hole in a pipe. Internal Cuts - the entire hole is enclosed in the material. Ripping - Long cuts to separate parts into halves.

6.1 SPEEDS AND FEEDS

6.2 PRACTICE PROBLEMS

1.A 1/2” thick steel plate is being cut on a band saw. The saw blade has 10 teeth/in. and with a feed rate of 0.002”/tooth and is traveling at 200 fpm. How many inches per minute may be cut?

2.When sawing, how many teeth of the blade are cutting at any time?
