We have band saw blade pages for metal-cutting and wood-cutting applications, but band saw blades are used for cutting all kinds of things. Grit-edge blades are used for cutting abnormally hard and abrasive materials. Scalloped-edge blades (by Simmons) are used for cutting bread, meat, and other food industry items. Band saw blades are commonly used for leather-cutting and foam-cutting applications as well.
Carbon ETS blades are used in the furniture manufacturing industry. A special ETS set pattern and aggressive 10° hook tooth design gives these blades the ability to cut faster with longer tip life - especially on high speed, vertical band saws. They are manufactured from a single piece of high carbon steel with individually hardened tooth tips. The flexible backs resist fatigue. At the same time they offer the required precision and contour control required in furniture manufacturing. These blades can be resharpened for even greater value.
Designed for cutting solids with very low machinability including "super" alloys, tool steels, inconel, waspalloy, hastelloy, "D" grade steels and similar tough materials, die bands are typically used on vertical machines in tool and die shops for cutting die blocks and tool steels. These super tough blades are made to handle the toughest production cutting jobs in controlled cutting conditions with fewer blade changes. They are available in both bi-metal matrix and M-42 specifications. M-42 Die Bands, with their high wear and heat resistance, are best suited for cutting difficult-to-machine tool steel and die blocks. Matrix Die Bands, with their high shock resistance, are better suited for thinner sections. We have blades available for any and every cutting application.
