How to Install Bandsaw Blade

If your bandsaw blade isn’t moving consistently while cutting and is becoming noisy or squeaky day by day, it’s sending signals for change. No matter how much carefully you handle it, after a constant usage the blade becomes dull or you’ll find some missing tooth in it. A dull blade will heat up much faster than a blade in good condition and will eventually lead to more serious problems like hairline cracks. It should be replaced immediately.

CHANGING BANDSAW BLADE

Changing bandsaw blade can be roughly divided into two phases: Removal of the worn out old blade and installation of new blade.

Before you get started, you have to make sure that the band saw is disconnected to power supply and unplugged.

Phase I: Removal of Worn Out Bandsaw Blade

• Open up the guide assemblies and remove the guide blocks. A bandsaw blade  has two assemblies, one above the table and the other below the table. These assemblies prevent the blade from flexing and twisting while it is making the cut. When guide blocks are removed from the assemblies the blade becomes loose.
• Raise the blade guard and guide assembly for getting to the throat plate in order to remove it. Remove the necessary table parts of bandsaw like the pin or the bolt that keep the table aligned at 90 degree.
• Open up the access doors and the blade guard. The blade guard covers the blade as it travels upwards from the bottom tire to the top tire, and protects you in the case of blade breakage. Then release the tension on the blade from both the assemblies. This can be done by quick release lever or manually by turning wheel.
• Now, remove the blade off the top wheel and guards and then simply slide through table slot or in some cases, the blade has to be turned 90 degrees and then slide it out of the slot.

Phase II: Installation of New Bandsaw Blade

• Before we mount the new blade, it is ideal time for checking the rubber tires on the wheels of assemblies. The dust or debris collected should be cleaned using metal scraper.
• For mounting the blade in the bandsaw, just slide the new blade through the slot. Guide the blade into the blade guards, and roughly center it on both the wheels.
• Now, you need to apply the tension. Wider blades require more tension. Tension should be checked manually by rotating the wheel.
• Turn the wheel slowly and watch how the blade tracks. Use the tracking knob for aligning the blade to the centre of wheel. Once the blade stays centered for several revolutions, final tension can be applied.

Buy Quality Bandsaw Blades

• You will notice some type of tension scale on your bandsaw based on the width of the bandsaw blade. What you’ve do is to turn the blade tension hand wheel until you’re very close. Then perform the final tension test on the blade. Try to flex the blade with finger very lightly. It should move just about 1/4 of an inch.
• For resetting the guide, first lower the assembly down. Adjust the thrust bearing so that it is approximately about the thickness of a playing card behind the blade, and then tighten it. Then slide the guide assembly forward until it’s behind the gullets on the blade’s teeth, and tighten it in place.

• Adjust the upper ball bearing guide and then adjust the upper guide blocks. The guide blocks should be placed very close to the blade but should not touch it.
• Repeat these adjustments for the lower blade guides.
• Fix the throat plate at its place and then the table alignment bolt or pin.

There is an old saying “A craftsman is as good as his tools”. A good craftsman makes his imaginations real with the help of his tools and always chooses them wisely. He constantly keeps on upgrading his skills and toolset to achieve perfection.
Why Bandsaw Blades?

It is designed to cut almost any type of material ranging from wood, plywood plastic, metal, soft and hard foam, MDF to fish and meat.

Deciding Best Suitable Blade for your Project:
Bandsaw blades come with huge variety that may confuse you slightly. Before making the actual purchase, you must understand few things related to bandsaw blade.
Blade Width: The width of bandsaw blade is an important factor as it is exposed to continuous heating, cooling and flexing. Inappropriate blade width may cause metal fatigue or failure. The width of the blade depends on diameter of the wheel. Thick blades endure more strains from straight cuts but should not be twisted or bended frequently. For making curves, your blade width should be somewhat less than the radius of the curve you are trying to make. Thin blades work well for lighter cutting works.    
Tooth Per Inch (TPI): As the name says, it refers to number of teeth in an inch of the bandsaw blade. This is a major factor that decides how the final cut of your material would look like.
If a blade has fewer teeth, it cuts the material rather coarsely. They are designed to cut quickly and roughly through soft material and cuts made will be large. They are not suitable to perform intricate and precise cuts. 
On the other hand, if the blade has more teeth, it cuts very finely. They are good at making small and accurate cuts. They are also perfect in cutting hard materials like metals but works rather slowly so consumes more power.

Tooth Style: There are basically three styles of tooth in bandsaw blades-Regular, skip and hook.
Regular teeth (raked angled at 0 degree) are uniformly spaced and are good at finely cutting general purpose materials and sawing purpose.
Skip teeth (raked angled at 0-degree angle) are spaced widely and are designed for avoiding clogging while cutting softwood but works somewhat slowly.
Hook teeth (raked at positive degree and possesses deeper gullet) are preferred for having quicker long cuts in thicker hardwood.
In case you want to reduce vibrations in your machine, you can go for variable teeth that have variable pitch and deep gullet.
Tooth Sets: Bandsaw blades of higher quality are compatible to various tooth sets. Wavy blade set is suitable for cutting and slicing thin sheets, pipes, tubes etc. Alternate blade set or double alternate sets are used for cutting wood quickly and smoothly. Raker tooth set works well for metal cutting purpose.

Blade Material: For woodworking purpose, blades made of carbon steel are usually preferred that are inexpensive and offers the desired durability required for cutting soft materials like wood or plywood. Bimetal blades are usually selected for cutting and designing metals. Such blades require hardness and more durability and so are made up of high-speed steel (HSS) and spring steel (for flexibility). Because of this, bimetal blades are more expensive.
Hope this information helps you to choose the best bandsaw blade for woodworking as per your need. Basically the idea is, If you want less accurate or straight cuts, you opt for hook teeth with less TPI, whereas, choose blade with regular teeth and more TPI for more accuracy. If you are here for clog free cutting, prefer blade with skip teeth and less TPI.
