Bandsaw Blade Tooth Guides:

Here's where the blade makes the cut. The tooth design variables include shape, position, set, type and spacing. The combination of these variables will determine whether the blade can move easily through your material without binding or becoming clogged with chips.

 

 

Recurring sequence of teeth - one set right, one set left, and one unset.

 

 

Recurring sequence with more than two set teeth before an unset tooth. For example: left, right, left, right, straight, etc. tooth pattern.

 

 

Set sequence depends on the number of teeth in the variable pitch tooth pattern.

 

 

Groups of teeth, usually 3 or 4, set to each side in a controlled pattern with an unset tooth between groups.

 

 

Every tooth set alternately to the left and right.
