Abstract
A system and method for reducing kerf loss and controlling the tension and lateral vibration of an internal diameter saw blade by controlling the temperature of the blade while it is still rotating. The blade temperature is controlled by regulating the temperature of the cutting fluid flow associated therewith. In one embodiment blade tension is periodically measured and, when the tension falls below a predetermined limit, the temperature of the cutting fluid stream is decreased for a period of time until the tension increases to a preselected value.
