A set of high-quality woodworking band saw blades will always deliver top-notch results for any project. The right blade investment can bring you enormous productivity and logistical reliability. Here are five accurate ways to find the best woodworking bandsaws to achieve the best project results.
Width
The woodworking band saw blades' width is the maximum bandsaw cutting capacity and the minimum radius it can cut. Re-sawing leans better towards blades with maximum cutting capacity. On the other hand, contour sawing will require narrow and thin blades for a better cut.
Thickness
Your woodworking band saw blades' thickness greatly relies on the wheel's diameter and project workpiece materials for processing. Thicker materials require thicker blades that can stand the long operational strain with minimal bending. On the other hand, thin blades can cut through lighter materials with minimal burn marks.
Teeth Per Inch
Blades with more teeth will cut slower but smoother, making them perfect for light materials prioritizing finesse. Fewer teeth per inch will give you a rougher but faster cut, perfect for function-oriented projects. Inspect and revisit your current project requirements to find the most optimal teeth per inch that work for your blades.
Tooth Styles
Bandsaw blades have various tooth styles:
Regular blades have proportional spaces, making them perfect for general purpose cutting or contour sawing
Skip tooth blades are perfect for materials such as non-ferrous metals and plastics
Hook tooth blades have a larger set that has a 10-degree positive raking angle for aggressive and faster cuts on thicker materials
Variable pitch blades combine both smooth finishes with faster cuts.
Surface Feet Per Minute
Lastly, make sure to check your bandsaw blade manufacturer's recommended Surface Feet per Minute (SFM) setting to get the best out of your blades.
