Routers, shapers, machinery, and all tools can be dangerous when used improperly so it is important to strictly comply with all operation and safety procedures. Always strictly follow the safety rules stipulated in the operation manual of your tools/machines.

 

First and foremost, always wear eye and hearing protection and keep all loose clothing away from machines.  It is also important to keep the machines unplugged when changing bits, cutters, blades, etc. and to make sure everything is properly secured before turning on the machines. To avoid slippage, keep all collets clean.

 

Use of these products will produce dust of potentially hazardous ingredients. Coolant mist from wet grinding may also contain dust. The dust produced can cause throat, nose, skin and eye irritation, and respiratory disease.

                                Router Bit Speed Guideline

 

Always first refer to the operation manual of your router to select the ideal router bit speed. In the event that a router bit doesn't come with a speed chart, you may start at about 2,000 rpm slower than the maximum speed described in the chart below. Maximum speed below is for reference only, The actual best performance speed varies depending on a number of factors. (size of the router bit, material to be cut, etc)

 

 

Shaper Cutter Speed Guideline

 

Always first refer to the operation manual of your shaper. If a shaper cutter doesn't come with a speed chart, you may start at about 1,000 rpm slower than the maximum speed described in the chart below. Maximum speed below is for reference only. The actual best performance speed varies depending on a number of factors. (size of the cutter, material to be cut, etc)

 

 

Bandsaw Blades

 

All Magnate bandsaw blades are welded and fabricated in the USA, but the coils/material of the bandsaw blades may or may not be from the USA. The picture depicted represents one blade.

 

Warning: For packaging purposes, this blade is folded into a coiled position which is similar to a spring and may pop open when uncoiled. Wear leather gloves and eye protection while using extreme care when uncoiling the blade. Failure to exercise the proper care could result in serious bodily injury. See your bandsaw owner's manual for further safety instructions.

 

Upon request, Magnate makes blades of any length and of any type available to fit your bandsaw brand and model.

 

If in doubt when determining your bandsaw blade length, please refer the instructions below:

 

1 - Check the owner's manual of your bandsaw machine for specifications. Check not only the length, but also the range of the width and of the thickness.

2 - If the owner's manual is not available, refer to your previous invoices.

3 - Uncoil your blade and use a soft cloth measuring tape to accurately measure the length of your old blade.

4 - Cut your old blade in half so that it lies flat on a level surface, and measure its length.

 

Choose A Width : How Tight Do You Need To Turn

 

Horizontal metalcutting bandsaws are typically designed to use only one width of blade. Vertical metalcutting bandsaws and woodcutting bandsaws have the capacity to run a wide range of widths. Here are some minimum turning circle diameters for our most common blades.

 

Blade	Minimum Circle Diameter
1/8” x 14 Raker Carbon	3/16”
3/16” x 4 Skip Carbon	3/8”
3/16” x 10 Raker Carbon	7/16”
3/16” x 8 Hook Three Wheeler	9/16”
1/4” x 6 Hook Premium Gold Carbide	3/4”
1/4” x 6 Hook Carbon and Bimetal	13/16”
1/4” x 6 Hook Three Wheeler	1-1/2”
3/8” x 4 Hook Premium Gold Carbide	1-3/4”
3/8” x 4 Hook Carbon & Bimetal	2-1/4”
3/8” x 6 Hook Three Wheeler	2-5/8”
1/2” x 3 Hawc Pro Resaw	3-1/8”
1/2” x 3 Hook Premium Gold Carbide	3-5/8”
1/2” x 3 Hook Carbon & Bimetal	6-1/2”
3/4” x 3 Hook Carbon	9-1/4”

 

METALCUTTING BANDSAWS:

 

The correct tooth pattern for metalcutting is determined by the thickness (cross-section) of material you are cutting. There should be between 2 and approximately 10 teeth in contact with the material at all times. Generally, choose fewer teeth per inch for thicker materials and more teeth per inch for thinner materials. The chart below will give you some basic guidelines for choosing the correct number of teeth per inch.

 

 

Tooth patterns of Carbon Tool Steel Blades

 

All Carbon Tool Steel Blades feature a standard set, which is a recurring sequence of teeth – one set right, one set left, and one not set.

 

Raker – Raker (also called “Standard”) is a good general purpose tooth design with a zero degree tooth angle. It works well on structural shapes and thinner materials in wood and metal.

 

Skip – Skip is available in limited sizes, but works well on thick cutting of paper and wood products. It features widely spaced teeth with a zero degree tooth angle.

 

Hook – Hook is an excellent positive angle tooth design for fast cutting of thicker materials such as wood, plastics, and soft metals.
