Band Saw Blades
Bi-metal and carbide-tipped band saw blades engineered for continuous industrial operation.
Industrial Band Saw Blade Solutions
Industrial band sawing requires a delicate balance between blade flexibility and cutting edge hardness. Our bi-metal and carbide-tipped band saw blades withstand the extreme fatigue cycles of continuous sawmill and metal fabrication operations.
Bi-Metal Blades
Bi-metal blades combine a flexible, fatigue-resistant spring steel back with high-speed steel teeth. This construction provides exceptional durability for demanding applications.
Bi-Metal Advantages
- Flexible alloy backing resists breakage
- HSS teeth (M42 with 8% cobalt) for extended sharpness
- Ideal for contour cutting and resawing
- Cost-effective for general-purpose cutting
Carbide-Tipped Band Saws
For extreme cutting conditions, carbide-tipped band saw blades provide unmatched wear resistance and heat tolerance.
Carbide-Tipped Applications
- Hardwood resawing (high-silica content)
- Exotic and composite materials
- Metal cutting in production environments
- Frozen wood processing
- Abrasive materials (MDF, particleboard)
Tooth Patterns
Standard Tooth
General-purpose cutting. Good for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, and plastics.
Hook Tooth
Aggressive feed rate. Ideal for wood, plastics, and non-ferrous metals. Large gullet for chip removal.
Skip Tooth
Wider gullet spacing. Better chip clearance for softwoods and non-ferrous metals.
Variable Pitch
Mixed tooth spacing reduces vibration and noise. Excellent for interrupted cuts.
Blade Width and Thickness
Blade width determines the minimum radius for contour cutting. Wider blades provide straighter cuts in resaw applications.
- Narrow (1/4" - 1/2"): Contour cutting, tight radii
- Medium (3/4" - 1"): General purpose, balance of maneuverability and stability
- Wide (1-1/4" - 2"): Resawing, straight cuts, maximum stability
Tooth Pitch Selection
Select tooth pitch based on material thickness and type:
- 2-3 TPI: Large sections, resawing, soft materials
- 4-6 TPI: General purpose, solid materials
- 8-14 TPI: Thin sections, tubing, sheet metal
- Variable: Mixed materials, vibration reduction
Welding and Repair
Our precision welding service creates seamless joints with proper annealing. We can also repair damaged blades including tooth replacement and body straightening.
