Metal cutting
How to choose TPI for metal cutting bandsaw blades
Match tooth pitch to tube, profile and solid steel sections to reduce vibration and improve blade life.
Metal cutting blade life depends heavily on tooth engagement. The material shape and section size matter as much as the blade material.
Thin-wall tube and profiles
Finer or variable pitch helps reduce catching and vibration on thin-wall tube, mixed profiles and bundles. Send wall thickness and profile size before asking for a direct replacement.
Solid steel sections
Larger solids need enough tooth space to carry chips. Too fine a pitch can overload teeth, heat the cut and shorten blade life.
Mixed production
For fabrication shops cutting many shapes, send the full range of materials and dimensions. We can suggest a practical general-purpose variable pitch or split the job into two blade choices.
