Carbon Steel Band Saw Blades 51 LG

High-grade (carbon steel) bandsaw blades, optimized for increased cutting performance by tempering and alloying. A blade body tempered to spring hardness will ensure good cutting accuracy and increased blade life particularly in nibbling saw operations.

for wood cutting
for medium-strength materials
for low alloy steel types

TECHNICAL DATA

Selection of Teeth Per Inch

You must select the correct Teeth Per Inch (TPI) for the thickness of the material you are cutting. If the correct TPI is not chosen the blade life will be dramatically reduced. TPI selection is arguably the most important decision when selecting a band saw blade.

The number of TPI defines the pitch of the blade and can vary from 1 to 32 TPI. On some bandsaw blades, there are different pitches on the same blade referred to as Vari-Pitch. TPI is measured from gullet to gullet, not tooth tip to tooth tip – this is known as pitch.

The general rule of thumb is:
• For wood and soft materials aim for 3 – 6 teeth in the workpiece.
• For metals and harder materials aim for 6 – 24 teeth in the workpiece.

Some things to note:
• Too few teeth may straddle the work and break teeth.
• Too many teeth can cause gullet overload and strip teeth.
