How to choose a saw blade for a panel saw

The commonly used panel saw in our daily processing is an important process in furniture production. Whether it is panel or solid wood furniture, cutting must be carried out first, which cannot be separated from various cutting equipment and saw blades. The selection and use of saw blades have a significant impact on subsequent processing, so it is also very important to understand the use and maintenance methods of saw blades.
1. Saw blade material

According to the different materials cut, saw blades have different materials and can generally be divided into high-speed steel saw blades (HSS saw blades), hard alloy saw blades, serrated alloy saw blades, diamond saw blades, etc. Woodworking saw blades are generally made of hard alloy, which is the most commonly used cutting tool for woodworking. The quality of hard alloy saw blades is closely related to the quality of the processed products.
2. Saw blade tooth shape
There are various tooth shapes for woodworking saw blades, including left and right teeth, flat teeth, ladder flat teeth, inverted trapezoidal teeth, dovetail teeth, and rare industrial grade three left and one right, left and right flat teeth.

The left and right teeth are the most widely used, with fast cutting speed and relatively simple grinding. Suitable for cutting and sawing various soft and hard solid wood profiles, density boards, multi-layer boards, particle boards, etc. Left and right toothed saw blades with negative front angles are usually used for panel cutting due to their sharp teeth and good cutting quality.
3. Saw blade thickness
The thinner the thickness of the saw blade, the better in theory, as the saw gap is a form of consumption. The material of the alloy saw blade substrate and the manufacturing process of the saw blade determine the thickness of the saw blade. If the thickness is too thin, the saw blade is prone to shaking during operation, which affects the cutting effect. When selecting the thickness of the saw blade, consideration should be given to the stability of the saw blade operation and the material used for sawing. Some special purpose materials require specific thicknesses and should be selected according to equipment requirements, such as grooving saw blades, marking saw blades, etc.
4. Saw blade diameter
The diameter of the saw blade is related to the sawing equipment used and the thickness of the sawing workpiece. The diameter of the saw blade is small, and the cutting speed is relatively low; The large diameter of the saw blade requires high requirements for the saw blade and cutting equipment, as well as high cutting efficiency. The outer diameter of the saw blade should be selected based on different circular saw machine models, and the saw blade with the same diameter should be used.
