Carbon blades are essential tools across various industries due to their precision and efficiency in cutting a range of materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. These blades are carefully crafted from high-carbon steel, celebrated for its durability, toughness, and ability to maintain a sharp edge. The primary material of these blades consists of carbon steel, which provides benefits such as wear resistance and reduced heat accumulation, ensuring lasting sharpness and consistent performance even in demanding conditions.
About this 2355mm 6.3mm 14 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 2355mm long and 6.3mm (1/4″) wide, with 14 teeth per inch. The fine pitch is chosen when the quality of the cut edge matters more than cutting speed.
With teeth about 1.8mm apart, three teeth stay in the cut in material from around 5-6mm thick. That makes it a good match for plywood, MDF, thin hardwood strips, plastic sheet and thin sections of soft non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, where a coarser blade would snatch or splinter the edge.
The 1/4″ band gives a good balance between steering round curves and holding a straight line. A 2355mm length is used on floor-standing workshop bandsaws - confirm against your machine before ordering.
In thick timber a 14 TPI blade fills its small gullets quickly, so feed gently or switch to a coarser pitch for deep cuts.
How to check this is the right blade
Check three things: the length should read 2355mm on your machine plate or old blade, the width across the band should be 6.3mm, and you should count 14 teeth in one inch. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need show how.
Why does a 14 TPI blade cut slowly in thick wood?
The gullets between fine teeth are small, so they fill with sawdust in deep cuts. Slow the feed, or use a 6 or 8 TPI blade for timber thicker than about 50mm.
Will this blade cut plastic sheet?
Yes. Fine pitch carbon blades are commonly used for plastics. Feed steadily so the material does not heat and melt back into the cut.
