Tooth Style for Timber Wolf Band Saw Blades
PC (Positive Claw) Tooth Style:
The PC design has sixty percent of the feed speed capabilities of a hook tooth, while at the same time giving you the great finish of a skip tooth. The depth and roundness of the gullet increases sawdust removal and cutting speed while the milled teeth help to reduce consumption of horsepower. Couple all this with our unique 6.5 degree rake angle and special 5 tooth set pattern and you have an awesome cutting blade that glides through the wood and produces an excellent finish and gives you great overall life. These blades are available in widths of 3/16 through 1 inch wide and the following teeth per inch: 2, 3, 4 and 6. These blades are mainly used in kiln dry wood.
VPC (Variable Positive Claw) Tooth Style:
The VPC is designed for straight-line resawing in small to large boards, kiln and air dry, up to 12 inches wide.
