Set and kerf
The set is the sideways angle given to the teeth. It makes the cut wider than the band body, so the body and the tooth edges clear the cut instead of rubbing. A wider set suits work where the cut tends to close on the blade. We do not publish a kerf or set width figure for this blade: ask us if your job depends on one.

About this blade
The Morse M-Factor GP is the general purpose member of the M-Factor carbide family, aimed at small billets under 12 inches in ferrous materials: alloy and stainless steel, plus titanium, Inconel and tool steels. Tungsten carbide tips stay hard far beyond HSS temperatures, turning difficult billet work into routine production. Made in the USA in Canton, Ohio and welded to your machine's loop length in the UK.
Specifications come from the manufacturer's published information. If the job is unusual, talk to us before you order.

Reading the TPI
TPI is the number of teeth per inch along the band. A single figure, such as 14, is a constant pitch: the teeth are evenly spaced. Two figures, such as 2/3, are a variable pitch: the spacing changes along the band between 2 and 3 teeth per inch, which breaks up vibration and lets one blade cover a wider spread of section sizes.
Read the pitch against the thickness of metal the teeth pass through. The published rule is to keep between 6 and 24 teeth in the cut: too few and each tooth takes too big a bite, too many and the gullets clog. Thick sections need a coarse pitch, thin sections and tube walls a fine one.
For tube, profiles and bundles the pitch depends on the wall thickness too. The blade finder works it out from your section and names the chart it used.
