- Coarse grit is applicable for faster cutting of thick materials or metals
- Finer grit is applicable on thin materials and fine ??finishing
- Minimum machine wheel diameter of 24 in (600mm) is recommended for continuous band
- Smaller diameters tend to increase fatigue and reduce blade life
- Use widest applicable blade for straight cutting
- 30% reductions in cut radius can be achieved using grit blades instead of standard blades
- Coolants are needed for most metal cutting and should be considered for glass and ceramics
- Start cuts at lower speeds and gradually increase until the required performance is achieved
- Metal cutting - a fine, stringy strip indicates the correct feed and band speed
- Increase the life of the blade by turning the blade inside-out from time to time
