Your saw blade is your livelihood. When it loses its effectiveness, you lose not only accuracy, but also productivity. That means less satisfied customers, slower turnaround times, and higher overall operating costs. You simply can’t afford to operate with a dull saw, but how do you know when it’s time to replace your blade?
Watch for These 3 Tell-Tale Signs of a Dull Blade
You’ll know it is time to replace your blade when:
1. You feel resistance when cutting—A properly sharpened blade should cut through metal or wood with little to no resistance. When you feel your saw struggling to cut, the blade simply is no longer getting the job done.
2. You lose accuracy and precision—The sharpest blades make it easy to create beautiful, intricate, and laser-accurate cuts. Dull blades, on the other hand, produce cuts that are jagged and rough. If your wood or metal cuts aren’t picture perfect, it may be due to a dull blade.
3. You hear loud noises when sawing—Along with minimal resistance, saws with sharp blades should also produce minimal noise when used with most materials. Saws with dull blades, however, often produce very loud sounds due to having to work harder than normal.
