Blade select card

One-page card matching material to blade family.

Match stock to blade family

This one-page card gives a quick match between common sheet and profile materials and the TrueCut blade families used in South African workshops. Keep it next to the panel saw, mitre saw or wall bench so operators can check tooth form, hook angle and intended finish before a stack is loaded. If you need the printable file for your team, request it through our contact form.

Use the card alongside the material route and the kerf reference when planning a cut list. It helps the operator confirm whether melamine-faced board, solid timber, aluminium profile or plastic sheet needs a different blade before the first pass. During load-shedding or shift changes, a printed card is often the quickest way to keep settings consistent.

Where the card earns its keep

Cross-check the card with the full ranges under Blades, Materials and Kerfs before changing from one stock type to another. Those pages add the detail that a one-page guide cannot carry, including material grouping and cut-width notes. Keep the card for quick decisions and use the linked sections for final verification.

Workshop conditions it accounts for

In South African workshops, board suppliers, aluminium sections and imported sheet can vary from batch to batch. It points users toward blade family selection first, rather than treating every cut as a speed setting issue. That makes it useful in cabinet work, sign production and light fabrication where mixed materials move through the same machines.
