Tooth pitch selection table for machine saw blades

When selecting the tooth pitch, the cross-section of the workpiece to be machined is the key consideration. The following ratio essentially applies: The
smaller the cross-section to be machined, the lower the pitch. As a rule of thumb, 2-3 teeth should always be engaged.
The chart illustrates the ratio:
