Product Information
Full details
This Charnwood bandsaw blade is designed for woodworkers seeking efficient and precise cuts across various materials, including nail-embedded wood, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and acrylics. Its key benefit is the combination of high cutting speed, superior surface finish, and extended blade life due to its spring-tempered high carbon steel and induction-hardened teeth. A potential consideration is its specific length and width, requiring compatibility with bandsaws accepting 1400mm x 10mm blades.

FAQs
What materials can this Charnwood bandsaw blade cut?
This blade is suitable for all types of wood, including nail-embedded wood, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and acrylics.
What is the length and width of this blade?
The blade length is 1400mm (55-1/8") and the blade width is 10mm (3/8").
How does the induction re-hardened technology benefit me?
Induction re-hardening of the teeth to 62HRC makes them significantly harder, leading to a longer service life, increased fatigue resistance, and sustained sharpness for more cuts.
Can the teeth on this blade be re-sharpened?
Yes, the teeth are designed to be re-ground, re-shaped, and re-set, extending the overall usable life of the blade and reducing the cost per cut.
What does 'ground teeth' mean for my cuts?
Ground teeth assure precision cutting, resulting in a better surface finish on your workpiece and minimizing material loss through less kerf.
Which bandsaw models is this blade compatible with?
It is compatible with Charnwood model W711, Draper BS200A, Sealey SM1303, and Fox F28-182 bandsaws, as well as other similar models that accept 1400mm x 10mm blades.
How does this blade improve production time?
The combination of high cutting speed, superior finish, and extended blade life directly contributes to decreased production times by allowing for faster work and fewer interruptions for blade changes or finishing.
Troubleshooting
Blade is not cutting straight
Check and adjust blade tension. Ensure the blade is tracking correctly on the bandsaw wheels. Verify the fence or guide is set parallel to the blade.
Blade dulls quickly
Ensure you are using the correct blade for the material. Avoid cutting into hardened objects or excessive knotting. Check for proper cooling when cutting materials that generate heat. Consider professional re-sharpening if used extensively.
Blade wanders off the cut line
Increase blade tension slightly, ensuring it remains within the manufacturer's recommended range. Check for blade set consistency and ensure it is not damaged. Confirm the bandsaw wheels are running true and the blade is centered on them.
Blade is binding or getting stuck
Reduce the feed rate. Ensure the kerf is not too narrow for the material thickness. Check for any obstructions in the cut path. Ensure the blade thickness and gullet size are appropriate for the material density.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Achieves high cutting speeds without compromising finish quality.
- Extended blade life due to induction re-hardened teeth.
- Suitable for a wide range of materials, including nail-embedded wood.
- Ground teeth ensure precision and reduce material kerf loss.
- Teeth can be re-sharpened and re-set for extended use.
Cons
- Specific blade length (1400mm) and width (10mm) limit compatibility.
- Requires bandsaws that can accommodate these exact dimensions.
- While durable, it is a consumable item subject to wear over time.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This blade is designed with a specific length of 1400mm (55-1/8") and a width of 10mm (3/8"). It is intended for use with Charnwood model W711 bandsaws and similar machines that accept these dimensions. It is also compatible with:
- Draper BS200A bandsaws
- Sealey SM1303 bandsaws
- Fox F28-182 bandsaws
Always ensure your bandsaw is set up to accept blades of this length and width for optimal performance and safety.
Care and Maintenance:
- Blade Tension: Ensure correct blade tension is applied according to your bandsaw manufacturer's guidelines. Too little tension can lead to poor cuts and blade wandering, while too much can cause premature wear or breakage.
- Tracking: Properly align the blade on the bandsaw wheels (tracking) for straight cuts and to prevent excessive wear on the blade edges and wheel guides.
- Cooling/Lubrication: When cutting non-ferrous metals or plastics, consider using a suitable coolant or lubricant to reduce heat buildup and improve cut quality.
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the blade clean of sawdust and debris with a dry cloth. For any sticky residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Storage: Store the blade properly when not in use to prevent damage, rust, or dulling. Avoid coiling it too tightly if it's a spare.
- Resharpening: The teeth can be re-ground, re-shaped, and re-set. This process should be done by a qualified professional or using appropriate tools to maintain the correct tooth geometry.
