About Blade Life
Cutting conditions and blade life vary according to the hardness of the material and the usage environment. Making the settings for the
conditions described below does not automatically guarantee attractive cutting results in all situations. Before performing actual cutting,
be sure to carry out a cutting test and make any necessary adjustments (see "Setup for Cutting -- Test Cutting").
If the material is not cut through completely even when the tool force is increased by 50 to 60 gf more than the tool force values shown
below, it means that the useful life of the blade has ended. Replace with a new blade.
* The values for life-span are intended to serve as a general guide when cutting materials of identical type.
