A common speed for the bandsaw is about one thousand feet per minute.
Wood cutting bandsaw blade speed.
Woodmaster blades are engineered for long life and consistent performance in a variety of wood cutting applications.
Product weight 167 2 lb.
Wood can effectively be cut at much higher speeds up to and over five thousand feet per minute but you should keep it slower because it s safer.
Typically the speed to use for all of your wood cutting tasks with your bandsaw regardless of the blade width or tooth configuration on the blade would be the listed speed that is closest to 3000 fpm.
Up to one inch one to three inches three to six inches and over six inches.

The blades are available in both flex back carbon and hard back carbon steel in widths from 1 8 to 2.
Speeds higher than that require a safe feed rate.

These products cut faster and longer which increases productivity and provides exceptional value.
The band saw blade speed and feed chart is divided primarily by material size.
For cutting tight curves less than 5 8 radius and delicate thin materials use a 1 8 or 3 16 10 14 tpi standard tooth blade.
Speed max 568 1080 1582 2529 fpm number of speeds 4 product height 65 in.
For woodcutting speed ranges vary from 700fpm to 2000fpm depending on the blade width tooth configuration and stock being cut.
Below the material size is the suggested tooth pitch for that material size.
The blades are built to wear evently and deliver straight cuts at extreme band speeds.
A blade running at five thousand feet per minute is capable of taking off one or more fingers with the slightest of slip ups.
To cut curves greater than 5 8 radius or when cut quality matters more than speed use a 1 4 6 tpi standard or skip tooth blade.
Metal cutting blades are very different than those for wood.
The precision ground tooth and layered heat treated tooth pattern is designed to give you extended blade life.

The change of speed is usually accomplished by moving a drive belt to a secondary location on the pulley s of the drive pulley and motor pulley.
