Bandsaw Blade Information

Unknown blade length for Two Wheel Bandsaw to Calculate unknown Bandsaw Blade Length go HERE

If you have a blade that fits, measure it following the instructions below.
With the blade off the machine, mark the inside of the blade with a thin marker making a line from the back of the blade to the front (start mark)
Place the blade on the floor upright like a tire, placing the start mark on the floor.
Mark the floor at the start mark. Carefully roll the blade along the floor until the start mark gets to the floor again. When the mark gets to the floor, make another mark on the floor (finish mark)
With a metal tape measure, measure from the start mart to the finish mark and record the measurement.
This is the length to use for ordering your blades.

Blade Construction

Blades can be made from one piece of steel, or built up of two pieces, depending on the performance and life expectancy required.

Carbon Blades

Hard Back type:
A one-piece blade made of carbon steel with a hardened back and tooth edge.

Flex Back type:
A one-piece blade made of carbon steel with a hardened tooth edge and soft back.

Bi-metal Blades

A high speed steel edge material is electron beam welded to fatigue resistant spring steel backing. Such a construction provides the best combination of cutting performance and fatigue life.

Blade Construction

Carbide Ground Tooth Blades

Teeth are formed in a high strength spring steel alloy backing material.

Carbide is bonded to the tooth using a proprietary welding operation. Tips are then side, face and top ground to form the shape of the tooth.

Blade Construction

Set Style Carbide Tooth

Teeth are placed in a high strength spring alloy backing material. Carbide is bonded to the tooth and ground to form the shape of the tooth. The teeth are then set, providing for side clearance.
