Heavy even wear on tips and corners of teeth

Probable Cause:

1. Improper break-in procedure.
2. Excessive band speed for the type of material being cut. This generates a high tooth tip temperature resulting in accelerated tooth wear.
3. Low feed rate causes teeth to rub instead of penetrate
4. This is most common on work hardenable materials such as stainless and tool steels.
5. Hard materials being cut such as "Flame Cut Edge" or abrasive materials being cut such as "Fiber Reinforced Composites."
6. Insufficient cutting fluid due to inadequate supply, improper ratio,and/or improper application.
