Cold Saw Blade & Tooth Recommendation

At ColdSawBladeStore.com, the question we get asked most often is, “How many teeth do I need for my application?” When we hear this, we walk through a series of questions with the customer to narrow down the exact parameters of their application — including their machine make and model, the blade size required, the material being cut, and the size, shape, and dimensions of the workpiece.

To make that process easier, we’ve built this simple cold saw blade calculator. Just answer each question, and it will point you to the right tooth count for your specific application.

If you’re cutting more than one shape or size of material, it’s usually fine to average the results from two or three different applications. The exception is when one result is an outlier. For example, if you’re getting tooth counts of 100, 140, and 300, that 300 is an outlier — averaging all three wouldn’t give you the best blade for any of them. In that case, the better approach is to average the two closest values (100 and 140) to land on 120 teeth, giving you one cold saw blade that handles both of those applications efficiently.
