Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure bandsaw blade length?
For a two-wheel bandsaw, measure the wheel diameter and the center-to-center distance between wheels. Blade length = Pi x wheel diameter + 2 x center distance.
What blade width should I use?
Narrow blades (1/8 to 1/4 inch) cut tight curves. Wide blades (1/2 to 1 inch) cut straighter and resaw better. Match blade width to your cutting needs.
