Blade Selection Summary
To see how TPI and width of the blade come together, use the table
opposite for reference.
• Regularly examine the blade for excessive damage or cracking as a result
of fatigue. If such damage is present replace the blade.
• It is important to use a sharp blade. Dull teeth result in increased feed
pressure producing a poor quality finish and an inaccurate cut.
Note: As well as the blades listed, we can also supply bandsaw blades
to almost any specification please call Record Power Customer Services in
your country.
