Knowing the characteristics of your bandsaw blade will help
you keep your blade to last longer and cut better. The ideal tool is not based
on how cheap or the most expensive, it is based on how people carefully choose
the tool for a specific job to get it done quickly, efficiently and frugally.
Here are the characteristics a Band saw Blade must have:
Hardness
The hardness and the cutting tools strength comes together.
It has to be maintained at a certain elevated temperature to minimise wear and
tear.
Toughness
This is required to every band saw blade. This
characteristic is to avoid chipping or fractures upon impact of the blade.
Wear Resistance
This is the attainment of the acceptable tool life before it
needs to be replaced. Wear resistance can be attained through proper usage of
the blade.
So if you are looking for a blade to use or the next time
you shop for a good blade, make sure that it has the three given
characteristics. A wise shopper must know what to look for.
The band saw also needs maintenance to keep up with the
working process. With proper cleaning and preventive maintenance, you can make
your machine more efficient.
