The saw doctoring facilities and skill of saw-doctors are conforming to the standard norm providing an efficient cutting by the band sawing machines. Practices, that are deviated from the standards and would be improved, include the excessive tooth widths and clearance angle, and excessive grinding of both the cutting angle and tooth back. The practice of reducing the hook angle in sharpening to increase the number of sharpenings should be considered.
Revealing from the discussions with the saw-doctors was the lack of understanding of saw doctoring principles in relation to the cutting parameters of feed rate, saw speed, cutting depth and sawdust removal capability.
