Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools across various industries, recognised for their precision and efficiency when 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 ability to maintain a sharp edge. The composition primarily comprises carbon steel, which offers advantages such as wear resistance and reduced heat build-up, ensuring sustained sharpness and consistent performance, even in demanding conditions.
About this 2525mm 4.8mm 6 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 2525mm long and 4.8mm (3/16″) wide, with 6 teeth per inch. It pairs a narrow band for curves with a coarse pitch that clears waste quickly.
Six teeth per inch puts the teeth about 4.2mm apart, with large gullets that carry sawdust out of deeper cuts. It works best in timber from around 13mm thick upwards, so it is useful for cutting curved shapes from thicker boards and blanks where a fine blade would clog and burn.
The 3/16″ width lets you follow tighter curves than a 1/4″ blade. The 2525mm length is for floor-standing bandsaws designed for this band size - check the machine plate or manual first.
The cut is faster but rougher than a fine-pitch blade, so allow for a little cleaning up. Carbon steel makes it an economical blade for wood.
How to check this is the right blade
To be sure it fits, check the length on your saw or old blade reads 2525mm, measure 4.8mm across the band, and count 6 teeth over one inch. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need explain each step.
Can I cut thin plywood with 6 TPI?
It is not ideal. In thin sheet fewer than three teeth are in the cut, which can splinter the edge. A 10 or 14 TPI blade is better for thin material.
Why choose a coarse pitch on a narrow blade?
It lets you cut curves in thicker timber without the gullets packing with sawdust, which keeps the blade cool and cutting freely.
