Double-cut
Single-cut Rasp-cut
Curved-cut
• Length is measured exclusive of tang, from point to heel,
unless specified otherwise
• Desired stroke length, type of material and size will
determine length required
Length
Tang Heel Belly Point
• Area to be filed will determine specific cross-section
(round, square, flat, etc.) to be used
• Work to be accomplished, roughing or finishing,
will determine type of teeth and coarseness for
each application
• Most American pattern files are available with 3 grades
of cut: bastard-cut, second-cut and smooth-cut
• Swiss pattern files are available in seven cuts:
No. 00, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, and 6
• The degree of coarseness is greater in longer files, but
differences between bastard, second and smooth are
proportionate
• Teeth arranged in curved contours across the file face
• Curved-cut file is normally used in automotive body shops
for smoothing body panels
• Series of individual teeth which are formed by a
single-pointed tool
• Produces a rough cut that is used primarily on wood,
hooves, aluminum and lead
Magicut®
• Single cut teeth divided by angular serrations into shorter
cutting edges, which free themselves readily from chips
and perform roughing and smoothing at the same time
• 2 sets of diagonal rows of teeth
• Second set of teeth cut in opposite diagonal direction
and on top of the first set
• First set of teeth is known as the overcut, second is
known as upcut
• Upcut is finer than overcut
• Double-cut file is used with heavier pressure than the
single-cut and removes material faster from the workpiece
• Single set of parallel, diagonal rows of teeth
• Single-cut files are often used with light pressure
to produce a smooth surface finish or to put a keen
edge on knives, shears or saws

HOLESAWS
Bi-Metaloy®Holesaws
• The variable pitch design has varying numbers of teeth
per inch (from 4 TPI to 6 TPI) and different gullet depths.
These variations help break up the harmonics and therefore
reduce vibration and noise. The teeth of the VP holesaws
have a 7° positive rake angle compared to a 0° angle on
the standard holesaw. The positive rake angle allows faster
cutting rates. Plus the smoother cutting makes it easier
to cut faster
The reduced vibration helps increase blade life. However
the main reason for the increased life is the thicker base.
All VP holesaws have a stronger, thicker base
The main cause of failure in holesaws is the failure of the
pin holes in the base. The new stronger base makes this
virtually impossible
The reduced vibration and the more aggressive tooth design
result in a smoother, cleaner hole
• Cuts holes from 9/16”/14 mm to 6”/152 mm in
diameter 1 1/8”/28 mm deep

SAW BLADES
Blade Breakage
1. Lack of tension. Tighten until taut.
2. Too much tension. Loosen slightly.
3. Cutting in awkward position. Use flexible type blades.
4. Jamming in cut. Hold work securely – stock should fall free after cut.
In soft material teeth may be binding because they are too fine.
Pinhole Breakage
1. Too much tension. Loosen slightly.
2. Worn pins causing pressure on eyeholes. Replace pins.
Rounded Teeth - Premature Wear
1. Blade not cutting. Use slower stroke and apply heavier feed.
2. Dragging on return stroke. Lift saw.
3. Material too hard. Select proper blade.
Crooked Cutting
1. Too much pressure. Reduce feed.
2. Blade out of alignment. Check frame and blade tension.
3. Blade worn out. Replace.
Tooth Breakage
1. Teeth too coarse. Keep three teeth in the work.
2. Too much feed, teeth loading. Ease feed pressure.
3. Teeth too fine, clogging. Change to coarser tooth.
4. Starting cut on sharp corner. Reposition work.
General Tooth Recommendations
18 Tooth: For general shop use, when same blade is used on several jobs.
24 Tooth: For cross section 1/16"/1,58 mm – 1/4"/6,35 mm such as pipe,
angles, small drill rod.
32 Tooth: To cut stock up to 1/16"/1,58 mm such as light tubing,
sheet metal, BX.
At least three teeth should be in contact with the work at all times.
Choose the Right Number of Teeth Per Inch
The sketches below (figure 1) show how coarseness of teeth affects blade
efficiency. Speed varies according to material being cut and saw blade coar-
seness.
Starting the Cut
If possible, avoid starting cut on a sharp corner. When unavoidable, begin with
light pressure and use a steady forward stroke. As many teeth as possible
should be in contact with the cutting area and at least three teeth must
be engaged. Note cutting angles shown below (figure 2).
