When should operators choose a Band Saw Raker Tooth Set over other tooth patterns?
A Band Saw Raker Tooth Set is best suited for cutting softer metals, plastics, and wood, where chip evacuation and reduced binding are priorities. It is also effective in resawing applications due to its balance between aggressiveness and finish quality. Operators often choose it for general-purpose cutting of mixed materials in maintenance shops.
How does a Band Saw Raker Tooth Set improve chip clearance?
In a Band Saw Raker Tooth Set, the unset raker tooth follows two alternately set teeth, acting like a scraper to remove chips from the kerf. This keeps the cut clear, reduces friction, and minimizes heat buildup, allowing the blade to maintain its sharpness longer.
Can a Band Saw Raker Tooth Set be used on hard alloy steels?
While a Band Saw Raker Tooth Set can cut hard alloy steels, it is generally less efficient than other tooth patterns, such as a variable pitch or modified hook tooth, for those materials. In hard steels, chip evacuation is less of an issue than maintaining tooth integrity under high loads.
