West Chazy, New York | Circumference equals diameter times 3.14, so the eight inch blade will turn about 25 inches per revolution compared to 31. However, if you feed it at the same rate, you are asking it to remove more stock per revolution, so not much gain. Your best strategy will be a rip blade raised so the tooth just exits the workpiece. Tooth shape matters some, sharpness matters more. Don't assume that fewer teeth will run easier; fewer teeth means that each tooth has to cut deeper to remove the material. Thin kerf will take less power than a wide kerf, assuming the blade doesn't bind. You can do a thought experiment by imagining a blade with only two teeth and how that would bog down the saw each time a tooth engaged. | |
