Choosing the right TPI
- 2–4 TPI — Large solid billet and heavy sections of tough alloys
- 4–8 TPI — General metal cutting on hard material — solid bar and plate
- 6/10 variable pitch — Tube and mixed sections in difficult alloys
- 10–14+ TPI — Thin wall sections, sheet and precision cuts on exotic materials
M51 vs M42 — when to upgrade
- M42 first — Suitable for the vast majority of mild steel and stainless cutting
- Upgrade to M51 — When M42 wears out quickly — hardened steel, titanium, Inconel
- Production environments — M51 blade life typically justifies the higher cost per blade
