After increasing consumption and usage from their invention and introduction in the 1960's through the mid-1980's, carbide tipped band usage declined through the 1990's as bi-metal blades were thought to be the better economic choice for metal-cutting applications. Into the middle of the twenty-first century's first decade, however, carbide tipped bands are making a comeback. When the right blade is used in the correct application, higher surface finish quality is obtained and a lower cost per cut is achieved, when compared to bi-metal blades. Industrial Carbide is proud to offer three of the leading manufacturer's brands: Morse, Simonds, and Milford. See pricing for Morse blades below. How is a Carbide Tipped band saw blade made? First, a ball of carbide is welded in a pocket that has been milled into the tooth tip (see the image below). Then the ball is ground to blend in with the tooth shape, offering the toughest bandsaw blade product.
