SIP 01316 Bandsaw Blade 2490mm (98") - Various Widths & TPI - Xcalibur Tooling

Accurate bandsaw work depends on matching the blade to both the machine and the type of cut. At 2490mm (98 inches) long, this high-carbon steel blade is designed for the SIP 01316 and is available in different widths and TPI configurations to suit a variety of woodworking tasks.

Its combination of flexible blade material, a sharp cutting edge, and UK precision welding makes it suitable for everything from everyday timber preparation to ripping, shaped work, and finer cuts where greater control is required.

Key Features

• 2490mm Machine-Specific Length: The 2490mm (98-inch) blade length is specified for the SIP 01316, helping users identify the correct replacement before choosing width and tooth pitch.

• High-Carbon Steel Construction: High-carbon steel provides the flexibility required for continuous travel around the bandsaw wheels while maintaining an effective cutting edge for timber.

• Choice of Blade Widths: Different widths allow the blade setup to be adapted for tighter curves, general workshop cutting, or straighter ripping applications.

• Multiple TPI Configurations: Available tooth-pitch options make it possible to match cutting behaviour to timber thickness, feed requirements, and the finish expected from the job.

• UK Precision Welding: Each blade is precision-welded in the UK to create a continuous loop suitable for regular workshop operation.

Applications

• Choose a narrower blade when cutting curved furniture components, templates, decorative shapes, or smaller pieces that require greater manoeuvrability.

• Use medium-width configurations for general timber preparation where both reasonable curve capability and controlled straight cutting are required from the sip machine.

• Select wider blades when working on longer straight cuts or ripping timber where increased blade support helps maintain the intended cutting direction.

• Match lower TPI configurations to thicker timber where efficient material removal is important, while finer tooth arrangements can be considered for thinner stock and smoother cutting requirements.

• Use the blade for furniture making, joinery preparation, craft projects, component sizing, and other regular woodworking operations.

Why Choose Our Bandsaw Blade?

• The 2490mm machine-specific length makes replacement selection more straightforward for SIP 01316 owners before width and TPI requirements are considered.

• Several width options allow one bandsaw to handle different jobs instead of restricting the machine to only detailed shaping or straight-line cutting.

• Selectable tooth pitches give users more control over cutting speed, timber thickness, chip clearance, and the finish left on the workpiece.

• High-carbon steel combines useful flexibility with dependable cutting characteristics for regular timber processing and workshop projects.

• For workshops already using different woodworking power tools, having the correct bandsaw blade configuration helps the SIP 01316 support both routine stock preparation and more specialised cutting tasks.

FAQs

1. What type of woodworking can I carry out with the SIP 01316 blade?
The available blade configurations can support straight cutting, timber ripping, curved profiles, and finer woodworking tasks. The best setup depends on the width and TPI selected for the particular project.

2. When should I choose a narrower blade width?
A narrower blade is useful when the cutting path includes tighter curves or detailed shapes. Wider blades are generally preferred when greater straight-line stability is more important.

3. Does timber thickness affect the TPI I should choose?
Yes. Thicker timber generally benefits from a lower tooth count that provides more space for material clearance. Finer tooth pitches are better suited to thinner stock and applications requiring a smoother finish.

4. Why is high-carbon steel suitable for this bandsaw blade?
High-carbon steel offers both cutting sharpness and the flexibility needed as the blade repeatedly travels around the bandsaw wheels. This makes it practical for varied woodworking operations.

5. What should I check before starting a cut with a new blade?
Confirm the blade is correctly installed, tensioned, tracked, and supported by the guides. The selected width and TPI should also be appropriate for the timber thickness and type of cut being performed.
