How to Pick a Bandsaw Blade You Precisely Need?

A bandsaw is a very indispensable tool that allows the creation of various forms of cuts while ensuring quality and precise cuts. But simply having this tool is not enough to achieve the best results. In order to achieve cuts with precision and quality, you have to carefully choose among different woodworking band saw blades to get the one that you need. One of the most important factors you should consider is the intended use you will have it for. There are top three blade options to choose from.

The first type is the bi-metal woodworking band saw blades that are very durable and have the ability to resist wear and heat. This is due to the quality and configuration of their tooth tips that are made from fast steel electron beams securely welded on high strength steel alloy. They work ideally for the majority of woodworking jobs but some types are also designed for fast metalworking, cutting carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and tools, and nickel-based alloys.

The second option is a carbide blade that is made either in solid or particle carbide materials. Solid carbide blade is fatigue-resistant and has great strength, making it perfect for cutting stainless steel, nickel and titanium alloys, abrasive materials, and woods. On the other hand, the abrasive particles of tungsten carbide work well in cutting hard-to-cut materials that can’t be handled by regular woodworking band saw blades. These include fiberglass, expanded glass, chrome axis and steel frame tires.

The last option is the flexible carbon blade that offers outstanding fatigue-resistance even during high-speed cutting. It is made from carbon steel and works great at cutting wood, plastic, non-ferrous and abrasive materials. After you have finally decided which among those options to select, the next step to do then is to analyze the technical details when working with woodworking band saw blades, such as length, width, and tooth form and pitch. Just inform Industrial Bandsaw about your specifications and we’ll provide the blade you exactly need.
