Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools across various industries due to their precision and efficiency in cutting a range of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. This blade is meticulously crafted from high-carbon steel, renowned for its durability, toughness, and edge retention. Its composition primarily consists of carbon steel, providing advantages such as resistance to wear and heat build-up, ensuring lasting sharpness and consistent performance even in demanding conditions.

About this 1574mm 4.8mm 10 TPI carbon blade

This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 1574mm long and 4.8mm (3/16″) wide, with 10 teeth per inch. It sits in the middle of the range for curve cutting: finer than a 6 TPI blade for a better finish, but with more chip room than a 14 or 18 TPI blade.

At 10 TPI the teeth are about 2.5mm apart, so stock from around 8mm thick keeps three teeth in the cut. That covers most general woodwork: plywood, MDF, softwood and hardwood boards, and plastic sheet. It leaves a cleaner edge than a coarse blade, which saves time on sanding curved parts.

The 4.8mm width handles tight curves comfortably and is a popular choice for templates, signs, toys and shaped furniture parts. A 1574mm length is typical of small benchtop bandsaws.

Carbon steel keeps this an economical, general-purpose blade for wood, plastics and soft non-ferrous materials.

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 1574mm. 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 10. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need explain each check step by step.

Is 10 TPI a good all-round pitch for wood?

For mixed thin and medium stock, yes. Very thick timber is better served by a coarser pitch, and very thin sheet by a finer one.

How tight a curve can a 4.8mm blade cut?

Much tighter than a 6.3mm or wider blade, though not as tight as a 3mm band. Relief cuts into the waste help the blade round the sharpest corners without binding.
