Collection: BANDSAW BLADES

Choosing The Right Bandsaw Blade

Bandsaw blades come in a variety of materials, tooth designs, widths, and configurations. When choosing a blade, it mainly comes down to two things: the maximum accommodation capacity and the minimum cut radius. If you are re-sawing or cut-off sawing, use the maximum blade width of your bandsaw as this will keep the cuts straight and you will get a good belt feed rate without breaking the blade.

The thickness of the blade has to be properly chosen as well. If the proper thickness is not used, it can lead to continual flexing, and heating and cooling causes the metal to fatigue and ultimately fail. Choosing the proper thickness of the blade depends on the diameter of the wheels and the work you are doing. Thicker blades can withstand more strain from straight cuts but are more susceptible to break from bending and twisting action. Thinner blades perform better under lighter loads.
