DEKOLY product scope, custom capability, and how to inquire.

Brand and products

What does DEKOLY make?

DEKOLY supplies industrial band saw blades and foam cutting band knives. The range covers woodworking band saw blades, TCT carbide-tipped wood blades, hardened-tooth wood blades, M42 bi-metal blades, meat and bone blades, and foam cutting band knives. Specifications are matched to the machine and cut, with custom length, TPI, welded loops, and OEM support.

Does DEKOLY support custom specifications?

Custom length, width, thickness, TPI, welded loops, bulk supply, neutral packing, and customer labels can be reviewed against the requirement. Final specifications are confirmed from the machine, material, and existing blade.

Can I send an inquiry without a full blade specification?

Yes. A machine brand and model, nameplate, old blade photo, or product label is enough to start. DEKOLY can help confirm length, width, thickness, and TPI.

How do I request a quote?

Use the quote form to send the material, workpiece size, machine model, current blade specification, and quantity. WhatsApp is also listed on the site. Incomplete specifications can still be submitted.

Length, width, thickness, TPI, and selection direction by material.

Blade selection

What parameters make up a band saw blade specification?

The common order format is length × width × thickness × TPI × quantity. Length determines fit on the machine, width affects stability and curve capability, thickness affects rigidity, and TPI affects chip clearance and cut finish.

How do I choose band saw blade TPI?

Harder material, thin workpieces, or thin-wall tube generally point toward a higher TPI. Thick stock, soft material, or a need for more chip clearance generally points toward a lower TPI. Confirm against the material, workpiece shape, machine, and existing blade.

How do I choose blade width and thickness?

Curve cutting depends more on a narrower blade and turning ability. Breakdown work depends more on the stability gained from width and thickness. Stay within the machine allowance and check the old blade specification.

Which blade should I use for rosewood and hardwood?

Evaluate standard woodworking blades, hardened-tooth wood blades, and TCT carbide-tipped blades against wood density, cut size, machine, and cut-finish requirements. TCT is the usual direction when tooth wear resistance is the main concern in rosewood or hardwood.

Which blade should I use for metal cutting?

DEKOLY currently handles common metal cutting with M42 bi-metal band saw blades, including carbon steel, steel tube, profiles, solid stock, and stainless steel. TPI and dimensions are confirmed from the material, workpiece shape, and size.

Which blade should I use for fresh meat, frozen meat, and bone-in cuts?

Use a meat and bone band saw blade for butcher and food equipment. Length, width, thickness, and TPI are confirmed from the fresh, frozen, or bone-in cut and from the saw model and old blade size.

TCT, hardening, welded loops, and common troubleshooting.

Technology and process

Why do TCT carbide-tipped blades cost more?

TCT blades require tooth preparation, carbide tip welding, post-weld dressing, and multi-angle grinding of the carbide tips. The process and consistency control are more demanding than a standard woodworking blade.

What does hardening the tooth area do?

Hardening is applied mainly to the tooth area to improve tooth-tip wear resistance. Whether it suits a specific blade depends on the blade type, wood, machine, and cutting method.

What should I check on a welded blade loop?

Check weld alignment, joint strength, post-weld dressing, straightness, and finished loop dimensions. A bulge, crack, or uneven joint affects installation and cutting stability.

Why does a band saw blade break or cut crooked?

Common causes include tension and break-in, guides, feed rate, coolant and lubrication, pitch-to-material match, blade wear, and weld-joint condition. Check each item against the actual cutting conditions.

Quote preparation

What should I prepare before requesting a quote?

Material, workpiece size and shape, machine brand and model, current blade specification or photo, and quantity. A machine nameplate and old blade photo are especially useful when the specification is incomplete.

What if the old blade has no label?

Measure the welded loop circumference and record the width, thickness, and TPI. A machine model, nameplate photo, and old blade photo can also be used to help confirm the specification.

Can you make blades from a sample or old blade?

Old blade dimensions, photos, or the physical blade can be used for specification review. The exact scope depends on the blade type, machine, and quantity.

Is English support available?

English pages and an English quote form are available under /en/.

Still need a blade match?

Send the material, machine model, old blade photo, or any dimension you already know. A full specification is not required to start.
