Cutting diagrams are used to determine what size saw blade is needed for specific cuts, as well as what type of machine will be required to make those cuts.

When selecting a saw blade, it's important to take into account the crosscut dimensions of the extrusion, as well as the desired angle of the cut. Different cutting lines on the diagram are designated for different angles, so it's important to select the right line for the cut you want to make.

If the crosscut dimensions of the extrusion fit under the line of the correct color for the desired angle, the machine will be able to make the cut. However, if the extrusion does not fit under the correct line, a larger blade or a different type of cutting machine will be required.

It's also important to note that machines with larger saw blade sizes generally have larger motors to handle the increased cutting power. So, when selecting a machine for industrial aluminum cutting, it's crucial to choose a machine with the appropriate blade size and motor to handle the job at hand.

In conclusion, understanding cutting diagrams is crucial for selecting the right saw blade and machine for industrial aluminum cutting. By using these diagrams, you can ensure that your cutting operations are efficient, accurate, and safe.
