2960mm Bandsaw Blade 6-25mm High Carbon Steel, Precision-Welded by Xcalibur Tooling

Manufactured in the UK by Xcalibur Tooling, this 2960mm bandsaw blade is engineered for compatibility with any bandsaw requiring a 2960mm (116 1/2") blade. Produced from high carbon steel (HCS), it is suitable for joiners, furniture makers, model makers, and workshop professionals seeking reliable performance across hardwoods, softwoods, MDF, plywood, and plastics. The 6mm width allows for tight curve cutting, making it a versatile choice for intricate work and general-purpose tasks alike. Trusted by workshops across the UK, this blade delivers consistent results on benchtop and compact floor-standing machines.

This bandsaw blade is produced from precision-rolled high carbon steel strip, selected for its balance of flexibility and tooth hardness. Each blade features a flexible carbon steel back for long fatigue life under repeated cycling on small-diameter wheels. The teeth are induction-hardened to approximately 62 to 64 HRC, providing a sharp, wear-resistant edge that maintains cut quality through hardwood, softwood, MDF, and plastics. The blade is precision-welded using a controlled process that produces a smooth, flush joint, eliminating the bumps and vibration seen in lower-cost imports. Available in multiple TPI options (3, 4, 6, 10, 14, 18, 24), this blade supports a wide range of cutting requirements, from fast ripping of thick timber to fine, splinter-free finishes in thin stock and curves.

Every blade is ground and welded to strict dimensional tolerances, with length accuracy maintained to within ±0.2mm. This ensures correct tracking, stable running, and minimal lateral movement through the guides. The 6mm width is ideal for tight curve work, capable of cutting radii down to approximately 25mm, while still supporting straight and gentle curve cuts in sheet materials. Consistency across each blade is guaranteed by batch inspection and QC, a hallmark of Xcalibur Tooling's 45+ years of UK manufacturing expertise. The blade is supplied coiled for safe storage. Always hang or store flat in a dry environment to prevent kinking or corrosion.

FAQs

Q: Will this 2960mm bandsaw blade fit my machine?
A: This blade is compatible with any bandsaw that requires a 2960mm (116 1/2") length blade. The 6mm width is suitable for most bench top and small floor-standing bandsaws commonly used in UK workshops. Always check your machine’s manual or existing blade length before ordering. Xcalibur Tooling blades are manufactured to strict length tolerances for accurate fit and tracking.

Q: What is the advantage of high carbon steel (HCS) for bandsaw blades?
A: High carbon steel offers an excellent combination of flexibility and hardness, making it ideal for woodworking bandsaw blades. The flexible carbon back resists fatigue failure on small-diameter wheels, while induction-hardened teeth (approx. 62 to 64 HRC) provide a sharp, wear-resistant edge. This results in clean, accurate cuts in hardwood, softwood, MDF, and plastics, with a blade that maintains its performance over extended use.

Q: Which TPI should I choose for different materials and cuts?
A: TPI (teeth per inch) selection depends on your material and the type of cut required. For fast ripping of thick timber, choose 3 or 4 TPI. For general-purpose cutting and moderate curves, 6 TPI is recommended. For clean cuts in thin stock, MDF, or plywood, select 10 or 14 TPI. Higher TPIs (18 or 24) are suitable for very fine work and plastics. Xcalibur Tooling provides a full range of TPI options to match every application.

Q: Is this blade suitable for cutting curves and intricate shapes?
A: The 6mm (1/4") width is ideal for tight curve work, capable of cutting radii down to approximately 25mm. This makes it well suited for model making, furniture components, and any application requiring intricate shapes. For even tighter curves, narrower blades may be preferred, while wider blades are better for straight cuts and resawing.

Q: Are Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades made in the UK?
A: Yes, all Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades are manufactured and welded in the United Kingdom at the Bramhall, Cheshire facility. With over 45 years of manufacturing expertise, Xcalibur Tooling is trusted by professionals across the UK for quality and consistency. Every blade is precision-welded and batch inspected for dimensional accuracy and weld integrity.

Q: What is the manufacturing process for Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades?
A: Xcalibur Tooling bandsaw blades are produced from precision-rolled high carbon steel strip, which is selected for its optimal balance of flexibility and hardness. The teeth are induction-hardened to achieve a hardness of approximately 62 to 64 HRC, ensuring a sharp and durable cutting edge. Each blade is precision-welded and flush ground to ensure a smooth joint, minimising vibration and ensuring accurate tracking during operation.
