Wood bandsaw blades are the most important accessory to use when cutting wood. They come in different shapes and sizes, with varying teeth per inch. Blades with coarse teeth are used for rough cutting, while blades with fine teeth are used for smoother cuts. The right blade will depend on what you're using it for and how your saw is made.
Blade Length
The length of a band saw blade is an important factor in its performance. A long blade allows the user to cut material more smoothly and efficiently. However, a poorly designed blade can make it difficult for the user to control the speed or depth of the cut.
Blade Width
The widest blade possible can cover a wide range of work possible. A wide blade can be used for cutting large amounts of wood, while a thin blade is ideal for intricate cutting. Choose the best one according to your activity and result's needs.
Teeth Per Inch (TPI)
To determine the teeth per inch required for a wood band saw blade, one must first calculate the band saw's cutting width. The cutting width is calculated by measuring the distance between the teeth and dividing by 10, then multiplying by 1.5. To find the height of the blade in inches, divide the length by .01 and then multiply that number by 12.
Tooth Type
When choosing a band saw blade, the most important factor to consider is the type of material you will be cutting with your blade. Different blade teeth types will work better with different materials.
For example, a blade with square teeth will work better on wood than a blade with round teeth, and a blade with triangular teeth will work better on metal than a blade with square teeth.
Hook tooth blades have wider-spaced teeth that make them perfect for aggressive cuts. Skip tooth blades have a zero-degree rake angle for aggressive but smoother cuts.
