I am working on In memory:Eagle portrait ,following guide line rec,s 46 tooth
spiral blade ,first let me tell you ,I am four stacking 1/4 "ply wood ,over std. thickness ,double lube top and bottom ,I was smoking blades ,no teeth left ,one to two holes ,small ,I mean small ,running extreamely slow ,changed 788 speed
still smoking blades went thru 16 in 25 holes,I went to lowes ,no larger blades
bought 3 dozen more ,put in 1 st. same results ,checked table sq. O.K. the it
hit me like a rock ,I jacked the speed of the saw back up and cut for 15 minutes
about 9 holes ,same blade just starting to get dull,can any body tell me what the
only 1 thing I did not do to eliminate the problem completely ! by the way most of those were the largest cuts on the tail so I was cutting 40 times the material
then before without wearing out or breaking the blade !
I've never used that many spirals before ,after finding this out ,I kinda like them
,I always had breakage issues before so I avoided them .
By doing it this way I hoping to learn alot about spiral blades and cutting with them !
My very Best !
