Tooth set, the alternate protrusion of the teeth to the left and right beyond the level of the band body, is the means by which free-cutting action of the bandsaw blade is achieved.
       
 

Raker Set (SD)
Standard tooth set
can be universally used for cutting thicknesses of more than 5 mm (3/16”) with steel, castings and hard nonferrous metals. With constant tooth pitches, the set sequence is left/right/straight.

With variable tooth pitches, one tooth is unset per toothing interval. The remaining teeth in the interval are recurrently set left/right.

 
       
  Group set (GS)
For bandsaws in the tooth pitch range of 4-18 tpi, improved surface quality is obtained with the group tooth set.
 
       
  Right-left set (RL)
With materials easy to machine, such as non-ferrous metals, plastics and wood, a right/left tooth set is especially effective.
 
       
  Wavy set (WS)
For sheet metal, thin-walled pipes and profiles with material dimensions up to 5 mm (3/16"), we recommend the wavy tooth set.
