Made for the Sealey SM355CE, this 2450mm x 13mm x 0.65mm M42 bi-metal blade is designed for workshops that need dependable cutting performance across steel, stainless steel, and commonly used non-ferrous metals.

The blade combines a hard M42 high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy-steel backing, allowing the cutting teeth to resist wear while the blade body repeatedly travels around the bandsaw wheels. A choice of fixed and variable TPI configurations also allows the setup to be matched more accurately to solid stock, tubing, sections, and different material thicknesses.

Key Features

  • SM355CE-Specific Dimensions: The 2450mm length, 13mm width, and 0.65mm thickness match the blade specification listed for the Sealey SM355CE, helping simplify replacement selection.

  • M42 High-Speed Steel Teeth: The cutting edge uses M42 HSS for increased hardness and resistance to heat and wear during regular metal-cutting operations.

  • Flexible Alloy-Steel Backing: A more flexible blade body supports continuous movement around the bandsaw wheels and helps the blade withstand the cyclic stresses created during operation.

  • Six Tooth-Pitch Options: Available configurations include 6, 10, 14, 6/10, 8/12, and 10/14 TPI, allowing the blade to be selected according to section thickness and cutting requirements.

  • Precision-Welded in the UK: Each blade is precision-welded in the UK to create a continuous loop suitable for workshop, maintenance, engineering, and fabrication applications.

Applications

  • Cut mild-steel bar, flat stock, and fabrication sections when preparing components for welding, machining, assembly, or general engineering work.

  • Use an appropriate tooth pitch when processing stainless-steel stock, taking account of the material thickness, feed conditions, and machine settings required for the job.

  • Cut aluminium, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials used in repair work, engineering components, fabrication projects, and workshop production.

  • Select variable-pitch options such as 6/10, 8/12, or 10/14 TPI when working with tubing and structural sections where the number of teeth engaged can change throughout the cut.

  • In workshops that also operate woodworking power tools, keep the SM355CE blade clearly identified for metal-cutting applications so the correct blade and machine setup are used for the material being processed.

Why Choose Our Bandsaw Blade?

  • The specified 2450mm x 13mm x 0.65mm dimensions provide SM355CE users with a clearly defined replacement size before tooth pitch and material requirements are considered.

  • M42 HSS teeth provide a hard cutting edge suited to demanding metalworking applications, while the flexible backing supports the repeated bending that occurs during bandsaw operation.

  • Both constant and variable TPI configurations are available, giving operators greater flexibility when moving between solid sections, hollow profiles, tubing, and materials of different thicknesses.

  • The 13mm blade width provides a useful balance for straight cutting and suitable contour work without unnecessarily increasing blade width for everyday metalworking tasks.

  • UK precision welding, multiple tooth configurations, and compatibility with ferrous and non-ferrous metals make the blade a practical choice for engineering workshops, fabrication environments, maintenance teams, and regular SM355CE users.

FAQs

1. What blade size is required for the Sealey SM355CE?
The Sealey SM355CE listing specifies a blade measuring 2450mm long x 13mm wide x 0.65mm thick. Confirm the machine model and blade dimensions before selecting the TPI required for your material.

2. Which metals can this blade be used to cut?
The blade is designed for cutting materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals. The correct tooth pitch and machine settings should be selected according to the workpiece.

3. What TPI options are available for the SM355CE?
Available tooth configurations are 6, 10, 14, 6/10, 8/12, and 10/14 TPI. The appropriate option depends primarily on material thickness, workpiece profile, and how many teeth will remain engaged during the cut.

4. What is the difference between fixed and variable TPI?
A fixed-TPI blade maintains the same tooth spacing along its cutting edge. A variable-TPI blade alternates tooth spacing within a specified range, which can be useful when cutting tubing, structural sections, or workpieces where blade engagement changes during the cut.

5. What should be checked before using a new SM355CE blade?
Confirm the 2450mm blade length, 13mm width, and 0.65mm thickness first. Then check blade direction, tooth pitch, tension, tracking, guide positioning, workpiece security, and the machine manufacturer's operating instructions before beginning the cut.
