Hello group,

Just got running a used Clausing Startrite model SC350DP cold saw. What
I notice is severe vibration and chatter while cutting. Have two new
blades for saw (McMaster Carr) 14" 280 tooth and 14" 180 tooth. Cutting
on low speed, just cut a 3"x2" .120" tube this made the concrete floor
shake. Is this normal for a cold saw? I guessing it might be O.E.
(operator error) Any help or thoughts?

thanks

Standard proceedure for chatter is to reduce speed (already done) and
increase feed - try pushing harder. Usually works for me...

They recommend a 5mm tooth pitch, you have either a 4 or a 6 mm tooth
pitch. They also recommend 2-3 teeth engaged in work at all times but
not more than 7 teeth.
