SIP 01404 Bandsaw Blade 1785mm (70 1/4") - Various Widths & TPI - Xcalibur Tooling

Matching the blade to the job allows the SIP 01404 to perform effectively across different timber-cutting requirements. At 1785mm (70 1/4 inches) long, this high-carbon steel blade is available in multiple width and TPI combinations for ripping, everyday stock preparation, curved profiles, and more detailed cutting.

Rather than relying on one blade configuration for every project, users can select a woodworking bandsaw blade based on the shape of the cut, timber thickness, and desired finish. UK precision welding and flexible high-carbon steel construction support dependable operation across regular workshop projects.

Key Features

• Correct SIP 01404 Length: The 1785mm (70 1/4-inch) length is specified for the SIP 01404, providing a clear starting point when selecting a compatible replacement.

• Flexible High-Carbon Steel: High-carbon steel provides the flexibility required for repeated travel around the bandsaw wheels while maintaining a sharp cutting edge for timber.

• Width Options for Different Cuts: Narrow blades provide greater manoeuvrability for shaped work, while wider configurations offer additional support when cutting predominantly in a straight line.

• TPI Selection for Different Stock: Multiple teeth-per-inch choices allow users to consider timber thickness, cutting speed, sawdust removal, and the finish required.

• Precision-Welded in the UK: Each blade is precision-welded in the UK to form the continuous loop required for consistent bandsaw operation.

Applications

• Create curved furniture components, patterns, decorative profiles, and smaller shaped pieces by choosing a narrow blade suited to the required cutting radius.

• Prepare general joinery and furniture components with medium-width blades where the work involves a combination of straight sections and moderate curves.

• Use wider blade options for ripping boards and making longer straight cuts where directional stability is more important than tight turning capability.

• Choose lower 4–6 TPI configurations for thicker timber where efficient sawdust clearance is required, or move to a finer tooth pitch when working with thinner stock and aiming for a smoother finish.

• Use the SIP 01404 for hardwood and softwood preparation across furniture making, joinery, craft projects, component sizing, and general workshop work.

Why Choose Our Bandsaw Blade?

• The machine-specific 1785mm blade length helps remove uncertainty about compatibility before width and TPI requirements are considered.

• Multiple widths provide flexibility for workshops that regularly alternate between shaped components, general-purpose cutting, and straight timber preparation.

• Selectable tooth pitches allow the cutting setup to reflect the actual material rather than using an unsuitable general-purpose tooth configuration for every job.

• High-carbon steel combines blade flexibility with the cutting characteristics required for repeated timber-processing applications.

• For anyone using a SIP machine across different woodworking projects, having suitable blade widths and tooth pitches available makes it easier to configure the bandsaw around the workpiece and cutting objective.

FAQs

1. Can I use the SIP 01404 for both straight and shaped cuts?
Yes. The available blade widths allow the machine to be configured for both applications. Narrow blades suit curved profiles, while wider blades provide greater support when following longer straight cutting lines.

2. What should I consider when changing from softwood to hardwood?
Consider the timber thickness as well as the tooth pitch being used. Thicker or harder material may benefit from a lower TPI that provides sufficient space between the teeth for effective sawdust clearance.

3. Which blade is better when surface finish is important?
A finer tooth pitch is generally more suitable when a smoother cut is required, particularly on thinner material. The feed rate should also remain controlled to allow the teeth to cut cleanly.

4. Why would I keep more than one blade configuration in the workshop?
Different cuts place different demands on a bandsaw blade. Keeping narrow, general-purpose, or wider configurations available means the machine can be adapted to curves, routine cutting, and ripping rather than compromising with one setup.

5. What can cause a bandsaw blade to cut inaccurately?
Incorrect tension, poor tracking, worn teeth, unsuitable blade width, or misaligned guides can all affect cutting accuracy. Checking these areas before use can help maintain a more controlled cutting path.
