Description

Bahco band saw blade is a long, continuous strip of toothed metal that forms a loop. It is mounted on a band saw machine and rotates around two or more wheels to cut different materials like wood, metal, plastic, and pipes.

How It Works

• The blade moves continuously in one direction.
• The teeth on the edge cut the material as it passes through.
• Because it is a continuous loop, it provides smooth and accurate cutting.

Main Parts

• Teeth – Do the cutting work.
• Blade Body (Backer) – Flexible steel strip.
• Welded Joint – Joins the blade ends to make a loop.

Types of Band Saw Blades

• Carbon Steel Blade – For wood and soft materials.
• Bi-Metal Blade – Long lasting for cutting metal.
• Carbide-Tipped Blade – For hard metals and heavy-duty work.

Important Specifications

• Length – Must match your machine.
• Width – Wide for straight cuts, narrow for curves.
• TPI (Teeth Per Inch)
• Low TPI (2–6) → Faster cutting through thick materials like wood bundles, heavy metals, etc.
• Medium TPI (6–10) → Good all-around performance for wood and general tasks.
• High TPI (10–18) →Finer cuts, better for thin or hard material like sheet metal, plastics, or hardwoods.
