Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools across various industries due to their precision and efficiency in cutting through materials such as timber, metal, and plastic. This blade is constructed from high-carbon steel, known for its durability, toughness, and ability to maintain a sharp edge. Its composition primarily comprises carbon steel, which offers advantages such as wear and heat resistance, ensuring lasting sharpness and consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
About this 1511mm 4.8mm 6 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 1511mm long and 4.8mm (3/16″) wide, with 6 teeth per inch. It pairs a narrow band for curves with a coarse pitch that clears sawdust quickly, a useful combination for shaping thicker timber on a small bandsaw.
With 6 TPI the teeth sit about 4.2mm apart and have large gullets, so the blade removes waste fast and does not clog in deeper cuts. Work from roughly 13mm thick upwards keeps three teeth in the cut, making it a good fit for chunky softwood and hardwood shapes, brackets, rough-outs and curved components. The finish is coarser than a fine-pitch blade, so allow for a little sanding.
The 4.8mm width turns tighter curves than the popular 6.3mm blades, while being a little more forgiving than a 3mm band. A 1511mm length is typical of compact benchtop and hobby bandsaws.
Carbon steel makes this an economical blade for wood and plastics. It is not intended for steel; for that a bimetal blade is the better option.
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 1511mm. Measure the width across the band from the tooth tips to the back edge: it should be 4.8mm. Then count the teeth over 25mm (one inch) and you should find 6. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need explain each check step by step.
Is 6 TPI too coarse for thin plywood?
On plywood under about 12mm, fewer than three teeth are in the cut and the blade can splinter the surface. A finer pitch such as 10 or 14 TPI gives a cleaner result on thin sheet.
Why choose 4.8mm over 6.3mm?
The narrower band follows tighter curves. If most of your cuts are gentle curves or straight lines, a wider blade will feel steadier.
