Problem |
Solution |
| Too many teeth are in the cut causing the gullets to overfill | Use a coarser tooth pitch |
| Too few teeth in the cut | Use a finer tooth pitch |
| Over penetration of teeth, causing gullets to overfill | Increase blade speed or decrease feed rate |
| Chips are being carried back into the cut | Adjust or replace the chip brush |
| Parts aren’t held securely | Use a bundle clamp or tack weld stock ends |
| Bad blade weld | Replace and have blade re-welded |
| Erratic hydraulic system | 1. Check for air in the system 2. Check for low oil |
