I am in the process of customizing a brass needle valve assembly for my hydraulic saw arm blade pressure adjustment.It's been a while but I remember the goal is to have the blade come down at the same speed as the descending cut. If I can fine tune the needle valve to go anywhere from full drop to stopping in mid stream I am providing a way to increase blade life, allow the saw blade to cut at it's own speed and maintain a straight even cutting path correct?
Now, any idea what I should be watching for with regard to blade pressure?
In other words, with a 3/4" blade, cutting a 2" hunk of mild steel square stock with a 10-12 TPI Blade, how much downward pressure?
I'll have to guess as close as I can but say 5 lbs? 1 lb?
Anything published on this?
Thanks
