Common band saw blade parameters
The common order format is length × width × thickness × TPI × quantity. The table is a selection reference; final specifications are confirmed from the machine, material, workpiece size, and old blade.
| Parameter | Meaning | Common range | Selection note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length | The welded loop circumference. It determines whether the blade fits the machine. | Confirm from the machine and old blade | Use the machine nameplate, old blade label, or measured loop circumference. |
| Width | Blade width. It affects stability, rigidity, and curve capability. | 6–80 mm (common reference range) | Narrow for curves, wider for breakdown work; stay within the machine allowance. |
| Thickness | Blade body thickness. It affects rigidity and flexibility. | 0.5–1.6 mm (common reference range) | Balance stability against flexibility; confirm from the machine and old blade. |
| TPI | Teeth per inch. It affects chip clearance and cut finish. | 2–10 (common reference range) | Higher TPI for harder or thinner work; lower TPI for thick or soft material. |
FAQ
Do rosewood and hardwood always need a TCT blade?
Not always. TCT depends on wood density, cut size, machine, cut-finish requirements, and how the current blade performs. Confirm with the wood type, machine model, and old blade details.
How do I choose blade width for curve cutting?
Curve cutting depends more on turning radius and handling. A narrower blade turns more easily but has less stability. Choose within the machine allowance based on the cutting radius and wood thickness.
How do standard, hardened-tooth, and TCT wood blades differ?
Standard woodworking blades cover common timber. Hardened-tooth blades focus on tooth wear resistance. TCT blades use welded carbide tips and multi-angle grinding for rosewood, hardwood, and denser timber where tooth wear resistance matters more.
Which parameters matter for sawmill breakdown?
Sawmill breakdown usually depends more on blade stability, width, thickness, pitch, tooth form, and weld-joint quality. Also confirm the machine blade allowance and timber size.
What if I do not know the woodworking blade size?
Start with an old blade photo, product label, machine model, or machine nameplate. You can also measure the old blade loop circumference, width, thickness, and TPI.
