Chip Load Per Tooth
| Recommended Chiploads | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Along grain | .008" | .035" |
| Cross grain | .004" | .008" |
| Hardwood | .002" | .006" |
| Chipboard | .004" | .010" |
| Veneered panels | .001" | .004" |
| Plastic laminated panels | .001" | .002" |
| Non Ferrous metals | .001" | .003" |
For instance: A 60 tooth saw rotating at 3000 rpm with a feed rate of 80 fpm will have a chipload of .0053″ Or to calculate chip load values, use the following formula: Chipload = 12 x feed per minute/RPM x number of teeth
