Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools in various industries due to their precision and efficiency in cutting different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. This blade is meticulously crafted from high-carbon steel, known for its durability, toughness, and edge retention. Its composition predominantly consists of carbon steel, offering advantages such as wear resistance and heat management, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and consistent performance even under challenging conditions.
About this 1975mm 6.3mm 18 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 1975mm long and 6.3mm (1/4″) wide, with 18 teeth per inch. It combines a fine tooth for thin materials with a slightly wider band for steadier cutting than a 4.8mm blade.
At 18 TPI the teeth are around 1.4mm apart, so three teeth stay in the cut from roughly 4mm thick. That suits thin plywood and hardboard, laminate, acrylic and PVC sheet, and thin soft non-ferrous sections such as aluminium extrusion, brass and copper. The fine teeth leave a smooth edge with less chipping on brittle sheet.
The 6.3mm width handles moderate curves and holds a line well on straight cuts. A 1975mm length is typical of larger benchtop and smaller floor-standing bandsaws; always confirm against your machine.
This is a carbon blade, so it is an economical option for wood, plastics and soft non-ferrous work. Steel and stainless steel call for a bimetal 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 1975mm. Measure the width across the band from the tooth tips to the back edge: it should be 6.3mm. Then count the teeth over 25mm (one inch) and you should find 18. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need explain each check step by step.
Will an 18 TPI blade cut thick hardwood?
Slowly, and it may overheat as the small gullets clog. A coarser pitch is much better for thick timber.
What is the benefit of 6.3mm over 4.8mm for thin sheet?
The wider band is stiffer, so it is less likely to wander on straighter cuts, while still turning moderate curves.
