Re: Saw blade for cross cut.

imran All Messages By This Member #140703 开云体育 Hi Chris, Hook or rake are used interchangeably. I am not a blade design level expert rather a user who reads and thinks a lot. I have only had blades with negative hook for non-ferrous metals. Here is a short read with more detail:

As for the riving knife, I am not sure if there is one default. Machines with bigger blade (thicker plate) capability likely come with thicker riving knives.

Riving knife, as you may know already, needs to be thicker than blade plate and thinner than blade kerf. I believe I had a 2.8 mm riving knife with 3.2 mm Kerf blade which had a 2.2 mm plate.

Thanks Imran,

I actually think I have the 50, not 60.

When you say a sliding saw with less hook, do you mean negative? Or just low positive say 0-5°.

I do have a scriber - Felder adjustable one but haven't used it yet as I dont work with much sheet material. My max blade would be about 305mm I think with the scriber. Is the default riding knife designed for a 3.2mm blade?

Thanks again,

Chris.
