1085mm Bandsaw Blades 42mm (3/4") Various Widths and TPI Pack of 3 Made in the UK by Xcalibur Tooling

1085mm Bandsaw Blades 42mm 3/4" High Carbon Steel, Precision Contour Cutting

Manufactured in the UK by Xcalibur Tooling, these 1085mm bandsaw blades are precision-engineered for professional workshops and demanding trade environments. Designed for compatibility with all bandsaws requiring a 1085mm (42 3/4") blade, this 6mm (1/4") ultra-narrow variant is the preferred choice for tight radius and intricate contour work in wood, MDF, plywood, plastics, and acrylic sheet. Trusted by professionals across the UK, Xcalibur Tooling delivers consistent performance and reliability for joinery, cabinetmaking, and fabrication applications.

Each blade is produced from premium high carbon steel (HCS), selected for its combination of flexibility and edge sharpness. The carbon steel back is heat-treated to optimise fatigue resistance, supporting continuous operation on both bench top and floor-standing bandsaw. Teeth are induction-hardened and tempered, achieving a typical hardness of 62 to 64 HRC. This delivers a clean, controlled cut in hardwoods and softwoods. The raker set tooth geometry is available in multiple TPI configurations: 4, 6, 10, 14, and 24 TPI. Lower TPI (4, 6) suits fast ripping and thick timber, while higher TPI (10, 14, 24) is ideal for fine detail, MDF, plywood, and plastics. All blades are precision-welded for a smooth, bump-free joint, minimising vibration and supporting straight, accurate tracking through the guides.

Dimensional tolerances are tightly controlled during manufacture. Each blade is ground to a consistent 0.6mm thickness and 6mm width, ensuring correct tensioning and reliable seating in the bandsaw. The weld joint is finished to eliminate any step, so the blade runs quietly without clicks or snags. Pack consistency is verified for every batch, supporting rapid blade changes and reducing downtime in busy workshops. The 6mm width enables a minimum curve radius of approximately 13mm, making these blades suitable for scroll work, template cutting, and internal cut-outs where precision is critical. Flexible blade backs reduce the risk of breakage during tight turns, supporting long service life even under demanding use.

Q: Will a 1085mm bandsaw blade fit my machine?
A: If your bandsaw requires a 1085mm (42 3/4") blade, this Xcalibur Tooling blade will fit. Measure your existing blade from end to end, including the weld, to confirm the length. This blade is compatible with any bandsaw that accepts 1085mm blades, regardless of brand or model. Always check your machine's manual or original blade for the correct length before ordering.

Q: What is the best TPI for cutting hardwood, MDF, or plastics?
A: For hardwood and thick timber, a lower TPI such as 4 or 6 provides faster, more aggressive cutting and efficient chip removal. For MDF, thin plywood, and plastics, a higher TPI such as 10, 14, or 24 delivers a smoother finish and reduces the risk of chipping or melting. Xcalibur Tooling offers this blade in 4, 6, 10, 14, and 24 TPI, allowing you to select the ideal tooth pitch for your material and application.

Q: Why choose a 6mm (1/4") wide blade for curve cutting?
A: A 6mm (1/4") blade is optimised for tight radius and intricate curve work. It allows a minimum cutting radius of approximately 13mm, making it suitable for scroll work, template cutting, and detailed furniture components. The flexible high carbon steel back supports sharp turns without cracking, while maintaining stability for straight cuts when required.

Q: What are the advantages of high carbon steel (HCS) bandsaw blades?
A: High carbon steel offers a balance of flexibility and hardness, which is essential for bandsaw blades used in wood and plastics. The flexible back resists fatigue and breakage during continuous use and tight curve cutting. Induction-hardened teeth, typically 62 to 64 HRC, provide sharpness and durability for clean, controlled cuts in a wide range of materials. HCS blades are also resharpenable if required.

Q: Are Xcalibur bandsaw blades made in the UK?
A: Yes. All Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades are manufactured in Bramhall, Cheshire, England. The entire process, including material selection, heat treatment, and precision welding, is controlled in-house to guarantee consistent quality. Xcalibur Tooling is a UK manufacturer with over 45 years of experience supplying blades to workshops and trade professionals.

Q: How do I select the correct bandsaw blade for my application?
A: Selecting the correct bandsaw blade depends on the material you are cutting, the thickness of the workpiece, and the desired finish. For thick timber and fast cuts, choose a lower TPI such as 4 or 6. For fine detail and smooth finishes in MDF, plywood, or plastics, opt for a higher TPI such as 10, 14, or 24. Always ensure the blade length and width match your bandsaw's specifications for safe and accurate operation.
