Bandsaw Blades
I'm going to order some 64 1/2" bimetal bandsaw blades and I have a question. I'm normally cutting 3/16" stock and 1/8" and 1/4" on occasion. How many teeth per inch would you order and what tooth setup? Anyone have a good source? Thanks. Tom |

Tom, If I recall, it is usually recommended that you have 3 blade teeth contacting the stock being cut. As far as the teeth pattern, I can't help you, sorry. |

So far the best price that I've found is at McMasters-Carr. If anyone knows a better source let me know. Gary Mulkey Fall Creek Knifeworks |

Tom, I hope this will help you in selecting the proper amount of teeth on your blades. Contact on material = 3 teeth Example: 1.0 divided by 24 = .041 1.0 divided by 14 = .071 1.0 divided by 16 = .062 1/8 =.125 = .041 x 3 teeth = .123 1/4 =.250 = .071 x 3 teeth = .213 3/16 = .187= .062 x 3 teeth =.186 roland |
