Order a custom size bandsaw blade
Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools across various industries due to their precision and efficiency when cutting different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. This blade is meticulously forged from high-carbon steel, known for its durability, toughness, and edge retention. Its composition predominantly consists of carbon steel, providing advantages such as wear resistance and reduced heat build-up, ensuring lasting sharpness and consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
About this 2505mm 4.8mm 10 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 2505mm long and 4.8mm (3/16″) wide, with 10 teeth per inch. The narrow band and medium-fine pitch make it a blade for shaped work rather than long straight rips.
At 10 TPI the teeth are about 2.5mm apart, so it keeps three teeth engaged in stock from roughly 8mm thick. That suits plywood, thinner hardwoods and softwoods, templates and patterns, giving a tidy edge that needs less sanding.
A 3/16″ band can turn noticeably tighter curves than a 1/4″ blade, which is useful for brackets, toys, decorative profiles and curved components. The 2505mm length fits floor-standing bandsaws built for this size - check your machine plate.
As a carbon blade it is an economical choice for wood and plastics, so keeping a spare on hand for curve work makes sense.
How to check this is the right blade
Confirm the length is 2505mm, measure the width from the tooth tips to the back of the band (4.8mm), and count 10 teeth in an inch. See how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need for guidance.
Is a 4.8mm blade suitable for straight cuts?
It will cut straight lines, but a narrow blade is more prone to wander in long or deep cuts. For mostly straight work a wider blade is steadier.
How do I stop a narrow blade wandering?
Set the guides close to the blade, use correct tension and let the blade cut at its own pace. Our bandsaw blade drift guide has more tips.
