Gullet

A gullet is the curved space between the teeth of a band saw blade or other cutting tool, designed to provide clearance for chips and debris during the cutting process. The size and shape of the gullet depend on factors like blade type, tooth geometry, and cutting application. Proper gullet design is essential for efficient chip removal, minimizing friction, and preventing blade overheating or clogging. Different materials and cutting applications may require specific gullet geometries.
