Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools across various industries due to their precision and efficiency in cutting diverse materials such as timber, metal, and plastics. This blade is meticulously forged from high-carbon steel, renowned for its durability, toughness, and edge retention. Its composition primarily consists of carbon steel, offering advantages like resistance to wear and reduced heat build-up, which guarantees long-lasting sharpness and consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
About this 1635mm 4.8mm 6 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 1635mm long and 4.8mm (3/16″) wide, with 6 teeth per inch. It is aimed at woodworkers who want to cut curves in thick material quickly, without the clogging you get from a finer tooth.
The coarse 6 TPI pitch gives each tooth a deep gullet to carry sawdust out of the cut. That makes it well suited to deeper curved work in softwood and hardwood, such as cabriole-style shapes, rustic furniture parts, garden projects and blanks for turning. Aim for stock of around 13mm or thicker so at least three teeth are always working.
At 4.8mm the band is narrow enough for fairly tight radii yet still has some beam strength for steady feeding. The 1635mm length is common on small benchtop and hobby bandsaws, but always confirm against your machine plate.
Being carbon steel, it is an economical blade for timber, sheet materials and plastics. Feed at a steady rate, and if the blade starts to drift in deep cuts, check the tension before blaming the blade.
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 1635mm. 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.
What finish will a 6 TPI blade leave?
A 6 TPI blade cuts quickly but leaves a rougher face than a fine-pitch blade. For show surfaces, plan to sand or spokeshave after cutting, or use a 10 TPI blade for a cleaner cut.
Can this blade cut aluminium?
A carbon blade can manage occasional cuts in thick soft non-ferrous material, but for regular metal cutting a bimetal blade is the better choice.
