The combination of a fine gauge (kerf) and an elastic spine reduces the likelihood of the blade buckling or snapping when performing radius cuts. The impulse hardened carbon-steel teeth are specifically designed with a hook and gullet that is optimal for cutting timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThin Kerf, Hardened Teeth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like thin kerf circular saw blades, it takes less power to drive and creates less waste, making deeper cuts are quicker \u0026amp; easier than before. Each tooth on the blade is hardened to Rockwell Rc80, making it resistant to heat build-up, increasing blade life and strength. A unique heat line along the back of the blade ensures that the blade will not buckle giving you a straighter cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChip Breaker Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tooth of the blade shaped with a chip-breaker – this allows the blade to remove waste more efficiently, reducing heat build-up, improving and extending cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncreased Hook Angle and Tooth Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe increased hook allows the teeth cut more aggressively, whilst still leaving a smooth finish, making the cuts fast and easy to control. Standard set teeth do not affect hardwood cutting yet can affect cutting resinous timbers such as Pine. With an increased set, these blades can handle a wider range of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eButt Welded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest method of welding for blades available.

Most woodworkers will keep several bandsaw blades to suit a range of tasks, swapping them out when required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInterpreting a bandsaw blade label\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll bandsaw blades listed on the Timbecon website have a typical three-part descriptive format.

This number determines whether the blade will fit on your bandsaw. Your bandsaw may not match exactly the lengths of blades available, however, as bandsaws upper wheels are adjustable a blade length of ±15mm will usually fit your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePart 2 – Width of the blade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second part of the SKU references the width of the blade, from the tip of the blade tooth to the back of the blade. In this case it is: 6mm (BS-1830\u003cbig\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e06\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e04).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe width of the blade in part determines the application of the blade.
