About this 1165mm 3mm 14 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 1165mm long and 3mm (1/8″) wide, with 14 teeth per inch. It is one of the narrowest blades we make, built for detailed curved work on a small bandsaw rather than straight ripping.
At 3mm wide the band can turn the tightest curves of any blade in our range, which makes it the choice for scroll work, fretwork-style shapes, toy and model making, lettering and intricate templates. The trade-off is stiffness: a blade this narrow is not meant for resawing or long straight cuts in thick stock.
The 14 TPI pitch puts the teeth roughly 1.8mm apart. To keep at least three teeth in the cut, the work should be about 6mm thick or more, so it suits thin hardwood and softwood, plywood, MDF and thin plastic sheet, leaving a smooth finish that needs little sanding. On thick timber the small gullets fill with sawdust, so feed gently and let the blade clear itself.
Carbon steel is the economical, general-purpose choice for wood, plastics and soft non-ferrous materials, and a 1165mm length is typical of compact benchtop bandsaws.
How to check this is the right blade
Check the length printed on your machine plate or on the old blade, and confirm it is 1165mm. Measure the width across the band from the tooth tips to the back edge: it should be 3mm. Then count the teeth over 25mm (one inch) and you should find 14. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need explain each check step by step.
Can I use a 3mm blade on thick timber?
It will cut, but the narrow band can wander and the fine teeth clog in deep cuts. For thicker timber a wider blade with a coarser pitch will cut straighter and faster.
Why does my 3mm blade keep coming off the wheels?
Narrow blades are sensitive to tracking and guide settings. Set the guides close to the band without pinching it and check the tension and tracking after fitting.
