How to Select Bimetal Bandsaw Blades

How to Select Bimetal Bandsaw Blades
Choosing the right bandsaw blade for the material to be cut plays an important role in cost effective band sawing. Here are some guidelines to help you select the appropriate bimetal bandsaw blades for your application.

Step #1: Analyze the Sawing Application

  • Machine: Determine the band size for the machine (Length x Width x Thickness).
  • Material: Determine the following for the material to be cut:
    • Material Type/Grade
    • Size
    • Shape
    • Will material be stacked/bundled, or cut one at a time?
  • Operation: Is this a production, or general purpose sawing operation?

Step #2: Determine the best product for the application

Use the charts below.
    • Locate the type of material to be cut in the top row.
    • Read down the chart to find which blade is recommended.

Step #3: Determine the proper number of teeth per inch (TPI )

  1. Determine the size and shape of the material to be cut
  2. Identify the chart to be used (square solids, round solids, or tubing/structurals)
  3. Read teeth per inch (TPI) next to material size
Use the tooth selection chart below.
    • If having difficulty choosing between two pitches, the finer of the two will generally give better performance.
    • When compromise is necessary, choose the correct TPI first.

  • Go to our Bimetal Bandsaw Blades for the product you have selected.
  • Confirm that product is available in the correct blade width and TPI.
