Bandsaw Blade Selection Guide

Choosing the right blade for precision, performance, and productivity.

At Alkem Industrial Supplies, we understand that selecting the correct bandsaw blade is critical to achieving clean, efficient cuts and extending blade life. Follow our technical guide to find the ideal blade for your application.

Step 1:

Define Your Cutting Application

Understanding your application is the foundation of selecting the right blade.

What type of steel or material are you cutting?
What is the make and model of your bandsaw machine?
Are you making straight cuts, contour cuts, or structural profiles?

Knowing these details allows us to tailor a blade recommendation that matches your exact requirements.

Step 2:

Select the Right Blade Material

The material you're cutting determines the blade composition:

Bi-Metal Blades – Ideal for high-performance general-purpose cutting.
Carbon Blades – Best for softer materials and occasional cutting.
Carbide Blades – Designed for extremely hard or abrasive materials.

Each type is engineered for specific applications to maximize efficiency and longevity.

Step 3:

Match the Blade Width to Your Machine

Your bandsaw machine's specifications will dictate the required blade width.

Correct width = optimal tracking, clean cuts, and reduced wear.
Incorrect width = potential machine damage or poor cutting results.

We’ll help you determine the most compatible blade width based on your machine and application.

Step 4:

Determine the Correct TPI (Teeth Per Inch)

TPI defines the spacing of the teeth and impacts cutting speed and finish.

TPI range: 0.7/1 to 24
Fewer teeth = faster cutting, rougher finish
More teeth = slower cutting, finer finish

We’ll work with you to find the optimal balance between speed, precision, and material removal rate.

Step 5:

Final Blade Recommendation

Based on your material, machine, blade width, and TPI requirements, we’ll recommend the most suitable blade from our trusted brands.
