How to order your Custom Bandsaw blade
- Choose the band/blade length in mm that will fit your bandsaw
- Choose the blade type – carbon flex -Woodworking or M42 -Metal Cutting

- Choose the teeth per inch you require.
- Need more help on which blade to specify – see description below
USEFUL TIPS AND INFORMATION ABOUT BANDSAW BLADES
Bandsaw blades are now ordered in mm for length however, imperial and metric width are utilised.
Imperial to Metric Widths:
| 1/8” | 3 mm |
| 1/4” | 6 mm |
| 3/8” | 10 mm |
| 1/2” | 13 mm |
| 5/8” | 16 mm |
| 3/4” | 20 mm |
| 1” | 27 mm |
| 1 ¼” | 34 mm |
| 1 ½” | 41 mm |
| 2” | 54 mm |
How It Works
Simple checks prior to ordering.
Please check prior to ordering the maximum and minimum width of blade your machine will take. This is the dimension from the back of the blade to the tip of the cutting edge. If you have lost your manual, this information is often displayed on the manufactures plate fitted to the machine.
Choosing a Carbon Flex Blade
The TPI are fixed for the length of the blade.
General Rules and guidelines
- The thicker the piece you are cutting the less teeth per inch
- Not sure a good average all-purpose blade is 6 teeth per inch
- Fine cuts and thin pieces larger number of teeth per inch
- If cutting curves narrow width blades make it easier
- For non-ferrous metal 14 teeth per inch will do the trick.
Choosing a M42 Bi metal blade
The chart below gives a rough guide on the blade vari tpi required to cut different thickness of steel.
General Rule
A the thicker the steel the fewer the teeth.

Made to Order Bandsaw Blades for Wood
The most common bandsaw blades we sell and also the standard blades listed are made using a precision high carbon steel strip. Our blade makers source this from Germany, thus ensuring it is of the highest quality.
- Most popular general purpose blade
- Fatigue resistant Chrome alloyed steel
- For sawing wood, plastics, metals
- Tooth hardness Rc 66
The steel also enables blades to be produced with superior cutting performance. They are therefore perfect all types of wood, They also have improved fatigue resistance and are therefore tougher also with harder teeth. The fine dispersion of carbide produced during heat treatment, therefore dramatically improves wear resistance and blade life.
Widths range from 1/8″ (3 mm) to 11/2″ (41 mm)
TPI from 1.14 to 32 (note: band width dependent)
Shipping is charged for all orders up to £150.00 then it is free.
