Cutting pipes, squares and channels The saw blade is subjected to greater wear when the areas A and B in figure F and figure G are cut. Place a wooden block up against the workpiece as shown in figure H and figure I so that the saw blade will enter areas A and B at an angle. This will help to minimize the shortening of the saw blade life. The allowable cutting dimensions are reduced when a wooden block is used. Use a wooden block whose dimensions are equivalent to the maximum allowable cutting dimensions minus the dimensions of the workpiece to be cut. This will further minimize the shortening of the saw blade life.

Cutting
pipes,
squares
and
channels
The
saw
blade
is
subjected
to
greater
wear
when
the
areas
A
and
B
in
figure
F
and
figure
G
are
cut.
Place
a
wooden
block
up
against
the
workpiece
as
shown
in
figure
H
and
figure
I
so
that
the
saw
blade
will
enter
areas
A
and
B
at
an
angle.
This
will
help
to
minimize
the
shortening
of
the
saw
blade
life.
The
allowable
cutting
dimensions
are
reduced
when
a
wooden
block
is
used.
Use
a
wooden
block
whose
dimensions
are
equivalent
to
the
maximum
allowable
cutting
dimensions
minus
the
dimensions
of
the
workpiece
to
be
cut.
This
will
further
minimize
the
shortening
of
the
saw
blade
life.
