Description


What are the three main types of bandsaw blades?

There are three main types of bandsaw blades: Bi-metal, Carbon Steel, and Carbide Tipped blades. All three have their own characteristics, benefits, and disadvantages when applied to different applications.

How do I choose a bandsaw blade?

In general, for wood cutting, it is recommended to use the widest blade your saw will allow and for radius cuts you will want a narrower width, depending on the radius you want to achieve. Wood Cutting – We offer several styles of wood cutting bandsaw blades for band speeds targeting 3,000 band feet per minute. Flex Back, Neo-Type, Diemaster2, Classic and Tri-Master.
Metal cutting operations require a much slower blade speed (75 to 300 band feet per minute) with the use of general purpose bi-metal blades to specialty blades, designed for very hard material and high production rates.

What is the most useful wood cutting bandsaw blade size?

If any blade could be considered all-purpose, a 3⁄8-in., 6-tpi, carbon-steel blade would be it. This blade has enough width to handle most rip cuts in material up to 2 in. thick without deflecting but is narrow enough to cut mild curves. It's also good for quick crosscuts.

How do I choose a TPI for my bandsaw blade?

The general rule of thumb is:
For wood and soft materials aim for 3 – 12 teeth in the work piece.
When cutting metal is best to refer to a tooth selection chart to help you get best blade performance when cutting.
