SIP 01318 Bandsaw Blade 2490mm (98") - Various Widths & TPI - Xcalibur Tooling

Getting the best performance from the SIP 01318 depends on choosing a blade configuration that suits both the timber and the type of cut. This 2490mm (98-inch) high-carbon steel blade is available in several widths and TPI options, allowing the bandsaw to handle everything from detailed curved work to general cutting and straight ripping.

Precision welding in the UK creates a continuous blade loop, while the flexible high-carbon steel construction supports regular movement around the bandsaw wheels. By matching blade width and tooth pitch to the project, users can achieve better control, material clearance, and finish quality.

Key Features

• Correct 2490mm Blade Length: The 2490mm (98-inch) measurement is specified for the SIP 01318, helping users identify the correct replacement length before choosing other blade characteristics.

• High-Carbon Steel Construction: The blade material combines flexibility with a sharp cutting edge, making it suitable for repeated timber cutting across varied workshop projects.

• Multiple Width Choices: Narrow, medium, and wider blade options allow the machine to be configured according to whether manoeuvrability or straight-line stability is the priority.

• Selectable TPI Options: Different tooth pitches provide greater control over cutting speed, chip clearance, timber thickness, and the finish produced on the workpiece.

• UK Precision Welding: Each wood bandsaw blade is precision-welded in the UK to form a continuous loop suitable for dependable workshop operation.

Applications

• Use narrow 3–6mm blade configurations when producing tighter curves, decorative profiles, templates, shaped furniture parts, or other detailed components.

• Choose medium 10–13mm widths for everyday timber preparation where the job requires a practical balance between directional stability and the ability to follow moderate curves.

• Select wider 19mm-plus blades for longer straight cuts and timber ripping where additional blade support can help maintain a consistent cutting line.

• Match lower 4–6 TPI options to thicker stock or hardwood where efficient chip clearance is important, while finer TPI configurations can be selected for thinner timber and smoother cutting.

• Use the SIP 01318 for preparing components before further machining, shaping, assembly, or finishing across furniture making, joinery, craft, and general woodworking projects.

Why Choose Our Bandsaw Blade?

• The machine-specific 2490mm length makes it easier to identify a compatible replacement before deciding which width and tooth pitch best suit the project.

• Several blade widths allow the same SIP 01318 bandsaw to move between curved cutting, everyday stock preparation, and straighter ripping work.

• Different TPI configurations give users the flexibility to adapt the cutting action according to timber thickness and the balance required between cutting speed and finish quality.

• High-carbon steel provides the flexibility needed for repeated blade movement while retaining the cutting characteristics required for everyday woodworking.

• For workshops building a practical collection of essential wood shop tools, having suitable blade configurations available helps the bandsaw remain useful across a wider range of timber preparation and shaping tasks.

FAQs

1. Can one SIP 01318 blade handle every type of woodworking cut?
A single blade can cover general work, but different widths and TPI combinations perform better for specific tasks. Narrow blades favour curves, while wider configurations provide greater support for straight cutting and ripping.

2. How does blade width affect cutting control?
Blade width influences how easily the blade can change direction. Narrower options follow tighter curves more effectively, whereas wider blades provide greater stability when the cutting path is predominantly straight.

3. When is a lower TPI useful?
A 4–6 TPI configuration is useful when cutting thicker timber or hardwood where larger spaces between the teeth help clear sawdust efficiently. Finer pitches are generally more suitable when a smoother finish is required.

4. Can this blade be used for detailed woodworking projects?
Yes. Choosing a narrower width with an appropriate tooth pitch allows the SIP 01318 to handle shaped components and more detailed cutting. The exact setup should reflect the curve radius and timber thickness involved.

5. What helps maintain accurate cutting over time?
Correct blade tension, tracking, guide adjustment, and suitable feed pressure all contribute to consistent cutting. Checking the blade regularly for dull or damaged teeth also helps prevent declining cut quality.
