Bi-Metal Band Saw Blade Band saw blades for cutting non-solid beams, pipes, flat steel or smaller solid steel rounds. Band saw blade for cutting solid beams, pipes, flat steel, squares, circles and beams. The number of TPI defines the pitch of the blade and can vary from 1 to 32 TPI. On some bandsaw blades, there are different pitches on the same blade referred to as Vari-Pitch. TPI is measured from gullet to gullet, not tooth tip to tooth tip – this is known as pitch. The general rule of thumb is: • For wood and soft materials aim for 3 – 6 teeth in the workpiece. • For metals and harder materials aim for 6 – 24 teeth in the workpiece. Some things to note: • Too few teeth may straddle the work and break teeth. • Too many teeth can cause gullet overload and strip teeth.
