1140mm (44 7/8") X 13mm (1/2") X 18 TPI Bandsaw Blade

1140mm Bandsaw Blade, High Carbon Steel, Precision Welded Performance

Manufactured in the UK by Xcalibur Tooling, this 1140mm bandsaw blade is engineered for professional woodworking and joinery applications. Compatible with all bandsaw requiring a 1140mm (44 7/8") blade length, it is suitable for trade workshops, cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers, and fabrication shops. The 13mm width offers an ideal balance between straight cutting and controlled curve capability, while the high carbon steel construction delivers reliable performance across hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, laminated panels, plastics, and acrylics.

This blade is produced from premium high carbon steel (HCS) strip, selected for its flexible carbon back and sharp, hardened teeth. The steel is heat-treated and tempered to achieve an optimal combination of edge retention and fatigue resistance. Each tooth is precision ground and set to a standard raker configuration, with the entire blade ground to a consistent 0.6mm thickness. The cutting geometry is optimised for woodworking, with a typical tooth angle of 10 to 15 degrees and a raker set for efficient chip clearance. The blade is available in a full range of TPI options: 18 TPI. While higher TPI (18) delivers fine, clean finishes on thin stock, MDF, plywood, laminates, plastics, and acrylic sheet. The flexible carbon back minimises the risk of fatigue cracks, supporting long service life even under continuous workshop use.

All Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades are precision welded in-house at the Bramhall, Cheshire facility. Each weld joint is ground smooth and batch-tested for concentricity, eliminating vibration, noise, and tracking issues common with lower quality imports. Dimensional tolerances are tightly controlled: blade length is held within ±0.2mm, width within ±0.1mm, and thickness within ±0.02mm. This ensures accurate seating in the bandsaw guides, consistent tensioning, and a superior surface finish on all materials. The low vibration design supports accurate, straight cuts and reduces blade wander, making it suitable for both straight and gentle curve work. Each blade is supplied coiled for safe storage and transport, with guidance to store in dry conditions to prevent corrosion.

FAQs

Q: Will this 1140mm bandsaw blade fit my machine?
A: This blade is compatible with any bandsaw that requires a 1140mm (44 7/8") blade length. The 13mm width and 0.6mm thickness are standard for professional woodworking machines. Always check your machine's manual or measure the required blade length before ordering. Xcalibur Tooling blades are manufactured to strict tolerances for reliable fit and tracking.

Q: Which TPI should I choose for cutting hardwood, MDF, or plastics?
A: For thick hardwood or rapid rip cuts, select 18 TPI. For fine finishing in MDF, plywood, laminates, or plastics, use 18 Higher TPI produces a smoother surface and reduces chip-out on brittle materials. Xcalibur Tooling offers all these options to match your application.

Q: What are the benefits of high carbon steel (HCS) bandsaw blades?
A: High carbon steel provides a flexible blade back for long fatigue life and sharp, hardened teeth for clean wood cutting. The steel is heat-treated and tempered, achieving a balance between edge retention and flexibility. HCS blades are ideal for woodworking, as they can be resharpened and maintain consistent performance across a wide range of materials.

Q: Is this bandsaw blade made in the UK?
A: Yes, all Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades are manufactured in Bramhall, Cheshire. The blades are precision welded and ground in-house, with every batch checked for weld quality and dimensional accuracy. Xcalibur Tooling is a UK manufacturer with over 45 years of experience supplying professional workshops.

Q: How does the 13mm width affect curve cutting and straight cutting?
A: A 13mm (1/2 inch) wide blade provides excellent stability for straight cuts and light resawing. It is also capable of controlled curve work, typically down to a radius of around 60mm. For tighter curves, a narrower blade is recommended. The 13mm width is a versatile choice for most joinery, furniture, and general workshop applications.

Q: How is the blade manufactured for durability and precision?
A: Each Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blade is produced from high carbon steel strip, which is heat-treated and tempered to achieve optimal hardness and flexibility. The teeth are precision ground and set to a raker configuration, ensuring efficient chip clearance and smooth cutting. The blade is then precision welded and ground at our UK facility, with strict quality control checks for weld integrity, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. This process ensures a long service life and consistent performance in demanding workshop environments.
