Step #1: Analyze the sawing application

Machine: Determine the band size for the machine
Material: Find out the following for the material to be cut:

• Material Type/Grade
• Size
• Shape

Operation: Is this a production or general purpose sawing operation?

• Production sawing generally use carbide and most Bi-Metal bandsaw blades.
• General purpose sawing generally use Bi-Metal and Carbon bandsaw blades.

Step #2: Determine PRODUCTION CUTTING VS. GENERAL PURPOSE

Use the chart below.

• Locate the type of material to be cut in the top row.
• Read down the chart to find which blade is recommended.

Step #3: Determine the proper number of teeth per inch (TPI )

Use the chart below.

• If having difficulty choosing between two pitches, the coarser of the two will generally give better performance.
• When compromise is necessary, choose the correct TPI first. A general rule for bundles: Determine the correct TPI for the largest continuous cross section.

• Go to the product page for the product you have selected.
• Confirm that product is available in the correct blade width and TPI.
