The "Cutting Speed Rate Recommendation Chart"
in Figure 35 offers guidelines for various metals,
given in feet per minute (speed FPM) and meters
per minute in parenthesis. Choose the speed
closest to the number shown in the chart.
Follow the directions in the Changing Blade
Speed section on Page 29 to set the machine to
the closest available speed.
Selecting the right blade speed for cutting depends
on the type of material being cut. Selecting the
correct blade speed prolongs the life of your blade
and provides the best possible cutting results.
