Bandsaw’s being such a versatile tool has become an integral part of any woodworking. Any respectable wood shop has one. So Whatever your saw, it is only as good as the blade you put in it, so always use the best – and at the correct cutting speed too of course! . Apart from the Standard Band saw Blade sizes available in our online shop  we also make and deliver huge range of Custom Bandsaw Blade sizes for those very niche market at lowest cost possible, all it takes is an email giving us the details. Using the correct size of blade ensure’s optimum  performance of your bandsaw. If you don’t have a manual and there is no marking on the machine, you can use this formula to determine the blade length you need. Set the pulleys or wheels in working position; Measure the center to center distance of the drive wheels.(C) ;Measure the radius of the upper and lower drive wheels. (R1 & R2). Using this balde length can be calculated by below formulae.

Blade Length = (R1 X 3.146) + (R2 X 3.146) + (2 X C)

Another parameter we use  width but really it comes down to two things: The maximum capacity your bandsaw can accommodate and the minimum radius you want to cut.  If you are doing re-sawing, cant or cut-off sawing, use the maximum blade width for nice and straighter cuts, you’ll get a decent feed rate without breaking blades. On the other end of the scale, if you do contour sawing, you will want to use a blade that is narrow enough to cut the desired radius. Select from wide array of width from 1” to ¼” Wide blades.

Getting a balance between a good finish and a decent feed rate are the two objectives in determining  how many TPI or teeth per inch you want.  6-8 range is a good ‘general purpose’ blade.  2 or 3 TPI  for re-sawing and thicker materials. 4  to 6 TPI for coarse, fast wood cutting duties in typical 3/4″ material a range of between 14 TPI for slower, smoother cutting. 18 – 32 TPI  for thinner metals and plastics under 1/4″.
