Carbon bandsaw blades are essential tools across numerous industries due to their precision and effectiveness in cutting various materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. These blades are expertly forged from high-carbon steel, which is renowned for its durability, toughness, and ability to maintain a sharp edge. Their composition predominantly consists of carbon steel, providing benefits such as resistance to wear and heat build-up, ensuring lasting sharpness and consistent performance even under challenging conditions.
About this 2865mm 4.8mm 18 TPI carbon blade
This is a carbon bandsaw blade, 2865mm long and 4.8mm (3/16″) wide, with 18 teeth per inch, for fine work where a coarse blade would rip or snag the material.
Teeth set about 1.4mm apart mean the blade keeps three teeth in contact on stock from around 4mm thick. Typical uses include thin-wall plastic pipe and tube, laminate, model and pattern making, and thin sections of soft non-ferrous metals such as brass and aluminium.
The narrow 3/16″ band lets you work around curves and detailed outlines. A 2865mm band is used on floor-standing bandsaws - confirm the length on your machine plate before ordering.
As a carbon blade it is economical for wood, plastics and soft metals; for tougher metal work a bi-metal blade is the stronger option.
How to check this is the right blade
Check the size three ways: 2865mm length from your machine or old blade, a 4.8mm band width, and 18 teeth counted over an inch. Our guides how are bandsaw blades measured and which TPI do I need cover each check.
Is 18 TPI good for cutting plastic pipe?
Yes. A fine pitch keeps enough teeth on the thin pipe wall to cut cleanly without the blade catching.
Why does fine-pitch work need a slower feed?
Fine teeth take a small bite each, and their small gullets fill quickly, so a steady, lighter feed keeps the cut clean and the blade cool.
