DoALL Band Saw Blades CA 2023

Selecting & Ordering the Correct Blade

Step 1. Choose a DoALL Blade Style Use the Band Saw Blade Selector chart (on page 18) to select a blade style for the material(s) you are cutting. For example, if you were cutting high volume aluminum parts, you would use a Tungsten Carbide – T3P blade Step 2. Determine a Blade Pitch in Teeth/ Inch (TPI) Use either the Solid Material or Structural Material Pitch Selector charts (on page 20-21) to determine the correct blade pitch, a measure of tooth spacing in teeth per inch (TPI), for the size of your material(s). The number of teeth over a one-inch length is the TPI. The pitch designation of a multi-pitch blade hyphenates the equivalent single pitch designations of those extremes. For example, if you were cutting a 4" diameter solid round piece of aluminum with a Tungsten Carbide – T3P blade you would select a pitch of 3-4 TPI Step 3 . Determine Your Band Saw Blade Width, from Tooth Tip to Back Edge Most sawing machines accept only one blade width, which is typically specified in the instruction manual. For contour sawing, choose the widest blade that can cut the smallest work radius. Step 4. Order the Catalog Number Corresponding to Style, Pitch and Width For example, if you were cutting a 4" diameter solid round piece of aluminum with a Tungsten Carbide – T3P blade you would select a pitch of 3-4 TPI. If the instruction manual recommended using a 1-1/2" wide, 271-inch-long blade for optimum cutting you would use the blade chart to choose the 328-434 catalog number. By adding 271 to the end of the catalog number you specify the length of the blade, in this case, 328-434271.000 Step 5. Ordering the Right Blade Length Blade part numbers are a combination of the catalog number and three numbers that indicate the blade length, as explained below. To order welded bands, attach the band length in inches to the end of the catalog number. For example, if you want a 180-inch welded band of catalog number 302-961, order part 302-961180.000 For bands 99 inches or shorter, lead with a zero. To order a 93-inch welded band of catalog number 302-961, order part 302- 961093.000
