Select a tooth per inch (TPI)\u00a0based on the charts below. Find material dimensions on bottom of chart and move up for appropriate teeth per inch.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid stripping teeth, always have a minimum of three teeth in the work surface How to measure TPI: Measure 1 or 2 inches along the blade from the center of the gullet. Count the number of teeth in that space. This is the TPI. A blade\u2019s TPI may not always be a whole number. In general the following rule applies to choosing the speed of your band saw blade: The harder the material, the slower the speed; conversely, the softer the material, the faster the speed. The faster the speed, the finer the finish produced on the cut surface.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462\" src=\"https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-rectangular-solids.png\" alt=\"tooth-selection-rectangular-solids\" width=\"1200\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-rectangular-solids.png 1200w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-rectangular-solids-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-rectangular-solids-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-rectangular-solids-1000x510.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-460\" src=\"https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-pipe-tubing.png\" alt=\"tooth-selection-pipe-tubing\" width=\"1201\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-pipe-tubing.png 1201w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-pipe-tubing-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-pipe-tubing-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-pipe-tubing-1000x510.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-461\" src=\"https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-round-solids.png\" alt=\"tooth-selection-round-solids\" width=\"1201\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-round-solids.png 1201w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-round-solids-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-round-solids-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/ellissaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tooth-selection-round-solids-1000x510.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Band saw tooth size is determined by the size and type of material to be cut and the desired finish.
