Choosing The Best Bandsaw Blade You Need




Bandsaws are one of the most essential tools that enable the attainment of different forms of cuts and ensures the quality and precision of cuts. However, simply having this cutting tool sitting in your shop is not enough in order to achieve the best results. For you to attain precise cuts, you need to carefully consider and select among the various bandsaw blades available to pick the best one for your needs. Among the factors that you must take into account, always think about the intended use for the saw. This means all the important aspects must be clearly and fairly considered so that you will properly pick the right type you need.



One specific factor to consider is the type of blade. Bandsaw blades come in three major categories namely, bi-metal blade, carbide blade, and flexible carbon blade. Each one suits certain cutting requirements, so be sure to know the details of the cutting you need to choose the right type of blade as well. The bi-metal blade is perfect for most applications like metalworking, cutting steel and other metal alloys. The carbide blade is great for cutting materials like expanded glass, chrome axis, and frame tires. Lastly, a flexible carbon blade offers great fatigue-resistance even at high-speed cutting and works suitably in cutting woods, plastic, and abrasive materials.



After you have decided on the right kind of blade you need, you can then proceed with determining other important factors that you need to consider. The first one is the length of the blade or how long it will be. This is perhaps the most obvious factor to consider and you can find it in the instruction manual or somewhere on the machine. The next one is the width. It is advisable to choose the widest blade possible because it is stronger and can cope with greater feed pressures. Finally, since bandsaw blades come in various tooth forms and pitches, also check these features out.
