Excision 62434304-4450 Band Saw Blade 34 x 1.1mm, 4450mm

Excision Bi-Alfa Profile Original band saw blade, 34mm wide, 1.1mm thick, 3/4 TPI, in a single 4450mm length.

3/4 TPI is a combi (variable) pitch: the first figure is the largest distance between tooth tips and the second the smallest distance within one group, which widens the range of work the blade can handle and reduces vibration. For solid bar, 3/4 TPI suits material 60 to 120mm in diameter.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Pick the length your saw needs. To measure it, set the wheels about the middle of their adjustment range, measure the distance between the wheel centres (D) and the radius of each wheel (R1 and R2), then work out the length in mm as (R1 x 3.1416) + (R2 x 3.1416) + (2 x D). The part number is the base code, a dash and the length in mm.

Choose a TPI that suits the thickness of the material you are cutting, because the wrong TPI dramatically shortens blade life. For metal, the general rule of thumb is 5 to 7 teeth in the cut at any time, and band speeds for bi-metal blades run from 80 to 90 m/min on construction and machining steel down to 15 to 25 m/min on heat resistant steels.
