SAFETY AND TERMINOLOGY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAW AND BLADE SELECTION

 

 

 

Type of machine

Explain the various types of saws (cold saws, vertical and horizontal band saws, and power hacksaws).

 

 

 

 

Determine which type of saw should be used to cut the workpiece to blueprint specifications.

 

 

 

Geometry of workpiece

Describe how the geometric shape of the workpiece would affect the machine selection and workholding device.

 

 

 

Type of material

Explain how the type of material dictates the type of blade, pitch, and machine which would be used in cut-off operations.

 

 

 

Types of blades available for a specific function

Use H.S.S. and bi-metal band saw blade tables.

 

 

 

 

List the types of hacksaw and circular saw blades that are available.

 

 

 

Pitch and set

Define pitch, set, and the variations of pitch or set that are available on the cut-off and band saw.

 

 

 

 

Use correct pitch for size and type of material.

 

 

 

FEED AND SPEEDS DETERMINATION

 

 

 

Feed and speed tables

Use feed and speed tables to set up machines.

 

 

 

Feed and speed calculations via Machinist's Handbook formulas

Calculate and set cutting feed and speed rate for sawing.
