Application
Fine TPI bimetal bandsaw blades in this configuration cut thin-wall metal tube, sheet, and precision aluminium extrusions cleanly, with minimal burr and good dimensional control.
Bandsaw Blade Width: 1/2"
At 1/2" wide, this is the most common general-purpose bandsaw blade width. It tracks reliably for straight ripping, resawing, and gentle curves on mid-size floor-standing machines, and is the default choice for most wood and light metal bandsaw blade work.
TPI: 14 TPI
Very fine — precision cuts on thin aluminium, mild steel sheet, and intricate plastic profiles.
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: 670mm
A 670mm 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 670mm 1/2" 14 TPI bimetal blade
This is a 670mm bimetal bandsaw blade, 1/2" (about 12.7mm) wide, with a constant 14 TPI tooth pitch. It is aimed at compact bandsaws used mainly for metal tube, pipe, angle and light sections.
At 14 teeth per inch the teeth sit about 1.8mm apart. Following the three-teeth-in-the-cut rule, that suits material from roughly 5.5mm thick, such as pipe walls, flat bar and smaller solid stock. A constant pitch gives an even, predictable cut when you mostly cut similar sections; on very thin-wall tube it can snag, so consider a 14-18 or 24 TPI blade for that work.
The bimetal construction pairs a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible spring-steel back, so the blade stays sharp in steel and stainless while resisting fatigue from running round small wheels. The 1/2" width keeps the cut straight and true on a 670mm machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose 14 TPI over 10-14 TPI?
Choose 14 TPI when most of your work is similar medium-wall tube, pipe or flat bar. A 10-14 variable pitch is better if your section sizes vary a lot.
Can this blade cut stainless steel?
Yes. A bimetal blade is a good choice for stainless. Use a slower blade speed, a steady feed and coolant if your machine has it, and avoid letting the blade rub without cutting.
