There are a variety of different types of bandsaw blades on the
market to suit various cutting applications. The accompanying
“Blade Selection” chart provides a general reference tool; your re-
sults may vary based on usage, experience and personal prefer-
ence. Ask your local tool dealer for suggestions for 88” bandsaw
blades in 1/8” to 3/4” widths, based on what is available in your
area.
Some general guidelines to consider when choosing bandsaw
blades:
Wider blades with coarse teeth are best suited to cutting straight
lines, re-sawing and for sweeping curves, but will not turn tight
corners. They will cut quickly and aggressively but do have a ten-
dency to bind (get stuck in the cut) if turned to sharply. Narrower,
thinner blades with finer teeth will cut more slowly but can turn much tighter corners for cutting more intricate work.
