Sawfiler Variations include face angle, face length, back angle, gullet width and depth, and a frost notch (if necessary). Typical bandsaw tooth dimensions are 1-3/4" tooth space x 3/4" gullet depth x 3/4" gullet width (grinding wheel width) x 30deg face angle x 16deg back angle. Fitting means tooth dressing and involves swaging, shaping, gauging, and grinding. The tip of the saw tooth is swaged to a flare, then the sides are compressed in slightly with a shaper tool to an exact kerf. Then a final grinding pass is made. The usual gauged tolerance is +/- .005" in kerf, and <
Rake angle Rake angle Rake angle is a parameter used in various cutting and machining processes, describing the angle of the cutting face relative to the work. There are three types of rake angles: "positive", "negative", and "neutral". POSITIVE RAKE:-A tool has a positive rake when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at inner side. NEGATIVE RAKE:- A tool has a negative rake angle when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at outer side. Generally, positive rake angles: Negative rake angles, by contrast: A zero rake angle is the easiest
