29 i Maintaining Your Blade A General Saw carbide-tipped circular saw blade is a precision tool and requires careful maintenance if it is to retain its performance and precision. Fitting While the blade is not particularly delicate, the carbide edges can easily be damaged by knocks and impact. For this reason, never lay the blade down on a hard surface and always take a little extra care when fitting. It is important that the diameter of the flange should be as large as possible, preferably a third of the blade itself. Check that the blade is running true. (It should not be more than 0.01 out of true.) Feed The feed speed should be kept within the limits recommended by the machine manufacturer for the material being cut. Feeding must be parallel to the blade. Feeding at an angle may damage the teeth and overheat the blade. Cleaning and Storage Resins and other material which easily become attached to the sides of the blade often cause overheating of the blades.this may result in the blade going out of tension and even cracking. Always keep the blade clean.wash it with solvent. (Never try to scrape a blade clean with a hard tool.) When not in use, the blade should be cleaned thoroughly and stored in it's original case. ado blades require especially careful cleaning since their construction causes a rather slow dispersal of heat. If serious overheating occurs, the joint between the two discs may be damaged. In such cases, the blade should immediately be sent to General Saw for repair. By use of a proprietary technique, it is possible to repair minor damages easily and quickly. Regrinding and Renovation It is uneconomical to use dull blades. Should the teeth be damaged, it may be necessary to grind away much more the carbide than when sharpening only, thereby shortening the life of the blade. When teeth have become excessively damaged, it is possible for General Saw to retip the blade, for a cost much less than purchasing a new blade. Technical Service General Saw has gathered its experience from many customers working in a wide variety of industries all over the world... Fromsawmills, cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, truss manufacturers, windows and door fabricators, ship builders, manufacturers of all kinds of saw machinery, engineering workshops, and plastic industries among others, we understand your cutting needs. We are always happy to place our knowledge and experience at your disposal. If you have any doubts about your blade selection, let us help you. All we require is: 1.Type of material. 2.Thickness of the material. 3.To be cut with the grain or across it. 4.Type of saw machine being used. 5. The smallest and largest usable diameter of the blade. When ordering you should also state the diameter of the bore and the dimensions and positions of any keyways or pin holes. Our Guarantee All General Saw blades are manufactured under a very strict quality control. Each tool is accurately measured and checked several times during the manufacturing process to ensure tight tolerances. If after days of use you find you are not completely satisfied with your blade, return it and we will replace it or give you a full refund... No questions asked. This guarantee does not apply to any tool that has been sharpened or altered by a facility other than General Saw Corporation. Nor does it apply to tools which have been damaged by careless or incorrect treatment. General Saw reserves the right to make changes in design and construction without prior notice.

30 ii Tooth Styles ST Straight Top. Typically used for ripping (cutting with the grain) softwood and hardwood. The advantage of this design is that it cuts both sides of the kerf simultaneously, making it twice as effective as teeth in a staggered tooth saw. Its balanced cutting forces reduce saw body stresses and the tooth form is relatively easy to maintain. ATB Alternate Top Bevel. Typically used for general purpose / combination and crosscut saw blades. One advantage of this design is that it produces very low cutting pressures that almost eliminate the tendency to tear out. The chips fall free in the chip spaces created by the large side clearance angles. Hi-ATB High Alternate Top Bevel. Higher top bevel grind and longer teeth than standard ATB blades. Specially designed for cutting acrylics and formicas or melamine with chip free results. Extra fine chipless sawing on acrylics and formicas or melamine where a scoring unit is not used. The chips fall free in the chip spaces created by the large side clearance angles. 4-1ATB 4ATB+1Raker. Used on General purpose / combination blades. Rips and crosscuts equally well and provides a very smooth cut. It produces very low cutting pressures that almost eliminate the tendency to tear out. The chips fall free in the chip spaces created by the large side clearance angles. Triple-Chip Grind. The 45º do the cutting and the flat tooth is a raker for chip cleanout. Triple Chip Grinds combine a balanced cutting force,. low tooth drag and free chip flow. This blade can be used to cut Melamine, lastics, Formica, other materials that are subject to chipping. Large inclined angles in the cutting edges give the triple chip form good wear resistance, and low tooth drag. General Saw Corporation 2518 Andalusia Blvd. Cape Coral, FL hone: or FAX:

Carbide Tip - Also called the tooth, carbide tips can be re-sharpened, giving the blade a longer life. Cooling Slot - Slots that are laser cut into the saw to keep it from overheating during operation. Copper lug - Used to reduce the noise created by the saw blade while it is being operated. iameter - Measured from the furthest edge of one tip to the furthest edge of the tip directly opposite. Expansion Slots - Reduces noise and allows the blade to expand and contract as needed. Gullet - ished space between teeth that provides clearance for the material being removed. eyways & in Holes - Special mounting features needed for some machines. Size and number may vary. Hook Angle - The amount of forward or backward lean each tooth has. erf - The width of the carbide tip measured from the two widest points of the top of the carbide tip. late - The body of the saw that is made from a high carbon, chrome, nickel and special moly-alloy steel. Radial Side Clearance - Side relief provided to prevent burning or melting. Relief Angle - Top clearance that changes with the style of blade. Shoulder - The shoulder's major functions are to add strength and support to the carbide tip. Tangential Clearance - Also called Head Clearance it allows the tooth to move through without burning. Tensioning Ring - Ring made from tensioning plate. Maintains the saw blades straightness under stress. Top Bevel Angle - The steeper the angle, the sharper the tooth is and the faster it becomes dull. General Saw Corporation 2518 Andalusia Blvd. Cape Coral, FL hone: or FAX:
