Application
Variable-pitch bimetal bandsaw blades in narrower widths are a popular choice for cutting metal tube, thin-wall section, and mixed bundles where vibration control is essential for blade life and operator comfort.
Bandsaw Blade Width: 3/8"
A 3/8" bandsaw blade sits in the versatile mid-range — capable of moderate curves as well as light straight ripping. It's a popular all-round width for hobbyist and small-shop bandsaws where you want flexibility between curved and straight work.
TPI: 10–14 TPI (variable pitch)
Variable pitch — very low vibration on thin steel section, ERW tube, and sheet.
Keep at least 3 teeth in contact with the workpiece at all times for efficient cutting and to avoid stripping tooth tips. For thin-wall or variable-section material, variable-pitch bandsaw blades reduce harmonic vibration and extend bandsaw blade life.
Bandsaw Blade Length: 1134mm
A 1134mm bandsaw blade fits compact benchtop bandsaws. These smaller machines are common in hobbyist workshops and light trade use, where work-piece size is limited but the machine is portable and cost-effective.
If your saw requires a slightly different bandsaw blade length, enter your exact measurement in our configurator — we cut bandsaw blades to any length within our range. The loop length is always measured with the bandsaw blade ends joined as they run on the machine.
Choosing a 1134mm 3/8" 10-14 TPI bimetal blade
This 1134mm bimetal bandsaw blade is 3/8" (about 9.5mm) wide with a 10-14 TPI variable pitch. The 3/8" width sits between a narrow curve-cutting blade and a wider straight-cutting one, which makes it a good all-rounder for a small bandsaw.
The 10-14 variable pitch suits general metalwork on sections from around 6mm upwards, keeping at least three teeth in the cut: small solid bar, flat, angle and thicker-walled tube in mild steel, stainless and non-ferrous metals. The varied tooth spacing helps the blade run smoothly as the section size changes through the cut.
As a bimetal blade it has a high-speed steel edge that holds up in metal and a flexible back that handles the constant bending of a short 1134mm band. The 3/8" width gives you reasonably straight cuts while still allowing moderate curves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 3/8" a good width for general use?
For a small bandsaw that does a bit of everything, 3/8" is a sensible compromise between cutting curves and holding a straight line.
What should I do if the blade starts to wander?
Check blade tension, guide settings and tracking first. If those are right and the cut still wanders, the teeth may be worn and the blade due for replacement.
