Built for the Draper Stormforce 98471 BS200, this 1400mm (55 1/8") Xcalibur cutting option suits accurate timber work in workshops. Its high-carbon construction gives users comparing carbon steel bandsaw blades flexibility, tooth strength, and controlled performance.

A selection of widths and tooth pitches lets you adapt the setup for curves, straight cuts, plywood, or stock preparation. Choosing the right bandsaw blade helps the saw work while producing a finish suited to the task.

Key Features

• 1400mm Fit for the 98471: Sized at 1400mm (55 1/8") to suit the Draper Stormforce 98471 BS200 and support proper installation and tensioning.

• High-Carbon Steel Construction: Provides the flexibility required to travel repeatedly around the saw wheels while retaining dependable cutting capability.

• Width Options for Different Profiles: Select a suitable width according to whether the job involves tighter curves, broader shaping, or straighter timber cuts.

• Choice of Tooth Pitches: Different TPI configurations allow cutting speed and edge quality to be matched more closely with stock thickness.

• Controlled Workshop Cutting: A suitable blade setup helps the saw follow marked lines accurately across timber and common wood-based materials.

Applications

• Rough-cut hardwood and softwood pieces before they move to planing, routing, sanding, or assembly stages.

• Produce curved cut-outs, shaped components, craft pieces, and irregular profiles by selecting a width appropriate for the required radius.

• Carry out ripping, crosscutting, angled work, and bevel preparation within the cutting capabilities of the Draper Stormforce 98471.

• Process plywood and other wood-derived boards for cabinetry, furniture components, shelving, prototypes, and general workshop projects.

• Use it for home DIY tasks, regular joinery preparation, or professional workshop jobs requiring repeatable material sizing and shaping.

Why Choose Our Blade?

• Different width and tooth-pitch choices allow the cutting setup to be tailored instead of relying on one configuration for every woodworking job.

• High-carbon steel handles repeated flexing around the machine wheels while providing dependable performance during regular timber cutting.

• Matching the tooth count with stock thickness encourages sharp cutting and reduces the tendency to overload the teeth during material feeding.

• Selecting an appropriate configuration can leave a smoother edge, reducing the amount of corrective sanding required after suitable cuts.

• Practical blade choices provide useful value for occasional makers and busy workshops that need reliable replacements for the Draper Stormforce 98471.

FAQs

1. Will this blade fit the Draper Stormforce 98471 BS200?
Yes. The 1400mm (55 1/8") length matches the Draper Stormforce 98471 BS200. Check your machine label and current blade dimensions before ordering, especially if the saw has been modified previously.

2. Which width should I choose for curved or straight woodworking cuts?
Narrow widths suit tighter curves, while 9.5mm or 13mm options provide more support for straighter work. Choose according to the smallest radius and type of cutting your specific project requires.

3. How should I select the correct TPI for timber cutting?
Coarser tooth pitches remove material faster in thicker stock, while finer TPI options suit thinner material and smoother edges. Keep several teeth engaged in the workpiece whenever practical during cutting.

4. What maintenance helps keep the blade cutting effectively?
Clean away resin and sawdust, check tracking, maintain suitable tension, and inspect teeth regularly. Do not force timber through the cut, because excess pressure can increase heat and premature wear.

5. Can these blades be used for different woodworking materials?
Yes. These carbon steel bandsaw blades can be used for wood, plywood, and composition board when the selected width and TPI are appropriate for material thickness and specific cutting requirements.
