The relationship between Speed and Feed Rates is vital to the proper function of a bandsaw and requires a saw operator’s full attention or the bandsaw will fail to perform as expected. Speed Rate A saw blade’s speed is defined as the distance in feet that the blade travels per minute: a measurement of S.F.P. M. or Surface Foot Per Minute. In order to achieve proper blade speed, the SFPM must be optimum for the application. The drive belts cannot be slipping under the load being machined, and the tachometer needs to be checked often in order to assure that the proper RPM’s are being …
