Band Saw Blades for Holzmann Bandsaws and Log Saws
A band saw blade is a consumable, and the blade - not the machine - decides whether a cut is a clean resaw or a wandering, burnt mess. We stock 80 band saw blade and track SKUs for Holzmann machines, spanning joinery bandsaws and BBS horizontal log saws. Widths run from 6 mm for curve work up to 50 mm for log conversion, lengths from 1826 mm on small bandsaws to 5643 mm on the large resaws, in thicknesses from 0.36 to 1.1 mm, with tooth pitches from TPI 6 for thin board down to TPI 1 and 22 mm pitch for green softwood. Extension track sections for the BBS log saws and the MOBAS 2 are listed here too.

Holzmann vertical joinery bandsaws across the BSB230 to BSB850 blade codes (blade widths 6-35 mm, lengths 1826-5643 mm) and BBS horizontal log and head band saws - BBS350, BBS550 SMART, BBS810 SMART, BBS920 PRO and the MOBAS 2 mobile saw - taking 25-50 mm blades in T22 wet-wood and dry versions. Extension track sections are stocked for BBS350, BBS550 SMART, BBS810 SMART, BBS920 and MOBAS 2. Blade part numbers mirror the machine: BSB470B15 is a 15 mm blade for the 470 saw, BSB810B40 a 40 mm blade for the 810.

|---|---|
| Blade width 6-8 mm | Curve and scroll work: 6 mm turns to roughly a 15 mm radius, 8 mm to about 25 mm. Not for resawing - a narrow blade wanders as soon as the cut gets deep. |
| Blade width 10-16 mm | General joinery: gentle curves, cutting to a line, breaking down board. The default choice if the saw only carries one blade. |
| Blade width 20-30 mm | Straight ripping and resawing on the larger joinery bandsaws. Tracks accurately in deep cuts; will not turn a curve. |
| Blade width 32-50 mm | Log and head band saws - the BBS machines and the 800/810/920 class. Straight conversion only, run with matching tension and guides. |
| TPI 4-6 (fine pitch) | Thin stock, board and plywood. Aim for at least three teeth in the cut; too coarse a blade here snatches and chips the face. |
| TPI 1-2 / 22 mm tooth pitch (T22) | Green, wet softwood and deep log cuts. The large gullet carries the chip clear; a fine blade in wet timber packs, heats and snakes. |
| 12 mm tooth pitch (T12) | Dry and mixed timber on the large resaws - the 5616 to 5643 mm blades. A middle setting between board work and green-log pitch. |
| Blade length and thickness | Both fixed by the machine. Lengths include 1826, 2750/2760, 3212, 3652, 4004/4015, 4136, 5616/5620 and 5643 mm; thickness 0.36-1.1 mm follows wheel diameter. Order by machine code. |
How to choose a band saw blade
Four numbers describe every band saw blade: length x width x thickness and tooth pitch. The first three are set by your machine and are not open to preference. Only the tooth pitch is a genuine choice, and it is the one most often got wrong.
Length must match the machine exactly
Blade length is the circumference of the loop and there is no adjustment for it beyond the tensioner’s small range. Lengths in this range include 1826, 2750/2760, 3212, 3652, 4004/4015, 4136, 5616/5620 and 5643 mm. The part number carries the machine: BSB300 blades are for the 300-class saw, BSB470 for the 470, BSB810 for the 810 and so on, so once you know your machine code the length looks after itself.
Width sets the tightest radius you can cut
Widths stocked are 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 25, 30, 32, 35, 40 and 50 mm. A narrow blade turns tightly but wanders in a deep cut; a wide blade tracks dead straight but will not turn. As a working rule, 6 mm turns to roughly a 15 mm radius, 10 mm to about 35 mm, 15 mm to about 70 mm, and anything from 25 mm upward is a straight-cutting blade only. Fitting a 30 mm blade and trying to cut a curve twists and cracks it at the gullets.
Tooth pitch: wet timber against dry stock
Fine pitches (TPI 4-6, as on the 1826 mm blades) are for thin stock, board and plywood, where you want at least three teeth in the cut. Coarse pitches – TPI 1-2, or the 22 mm tooth pitch versions marked T22 – are for deep cuts and green, wet softwood, where each tooth must carry a large chip clear of the kerf. Run a fine blade in wet timber and the gullets pack, the blade heats, and it starts to snake. Run a coarse blade in thin board and the teeth snatch and chip the face. Where a size exists in both, such as the 4015 mm dry version and the 4004 mm T22 wet-wood version for the 810 log saw, choose by the timber you actually convert.
Thickness, life and what goes wrong
Thickness (0.36 to 1.1 mm here) is matched to wheel diameter: a thick blade on small wheels fatigues and cracks. Most blade failures are not wear but tension, guide setting or feeding too fast. A blade that cuts a curve when you want a straight line is usually blunt on one side or under-tensioned, not the wrong blade. Keep at least one spare of each width you use – a saw with no blade is a saw not earning.
Log saw blades and extension tracks
The wide 32-50 mm blades belong to the BBS horizontal log band saws and large resaws. Extension track sections (BBS350RB, BBS550SMART_RB, BBS810SMART_RB, BBS920_RB, MOBAS2RB) lengthen the bed for longer logs and are quoted separately from blades.
What moves the price
Blade price is driven by length and width first – a 5643 x 50 mm log blade is several times a 1826 x 6 mm joinery blade – then by tooth pitch and tooth type, by whether you take singles or a multi-blade pack for a sawmill, and by delivery. Extension tracks are priced per section and quoted with freight.
ხშირად დასმული კითხვები
How do I identify the right band saw blade for a bandsaw I already own?
A band saw blade is specified as length x width x thickness plus tooth pitch, and all of those except pitch are fixed by your machine. Take the length and thickness from the machine manual or from the old blade, then choose the width for the work. Our blade part numbers carry the machine code - BSB470B15 is a 15 mm blade for the 470 saw, BSB810B40 a 40 mm blade for the 810 - so if you send us the machine model and serial number we will identify the correct band saw blade for you.
What band saw blade width should I use?
Band saw blade width is a trade-off between turning and tracking. A 6 mm blade will follow a radius of roughly 15 mm but wanders in deep cuts; 10-16 mm covers most joinery work; 20-30 mm is for straight ripping and resawing; and 32-50 mm blades are for log and head band saws and cut straight lines only. Fitting a wide blade and trying to cut a curve twists it and cracks the gullets, so keep a narrow blade on hand for shaped work.
What does T22 mean on a band saw blade?
T22 on a band saw blade means a 22 mm tooth pitch - a very coarse tooth spacing with a large gullet, intended for green, wet softwood and deep log cuts where each tooth has to carry a big chip clear of the kerf. It is the opposite of the TPI 4-6 fine-pitch blades used on thin stock and board. Several sizes are stocked in both versions, such as the 4015 mm dry blade and the 4004 mm T22 wet-wood blade for the 810 log saw.
How long does a band saw blade last?
Band saw blade life depends far more on tension, guide setting and feed rate than on hours run. Most blades fail from fatigue cracking at the gullets or from being fed too hard, not from the teeth wearing out. Signs that a blade is finished are cutting off-line when the fence is true, burning, and needing more feed pressure than usual. Any working shop should hold at least one spare blade per width in use, because a saw waiting on a blade is a saw not earning.
What happens if I fit the wrong band saw blade?
A band saw blade of the wrong length simply will not tension on the wheels, and one that is too thick for the wheel diameter will fatigue and crack within hours. A blade with too fine a tooth pitch in wet timber packs its gullets, overheats and starts to snake; too coarse a pitch in thin board snatches and chips the surface. Ordering by the machine code in the part number avoids all three.
How do I order band saw blades and what is the lead time?
Send us the machine model plus the blade width and tooth pitch you need, and we will quote the band saw blades in writing with delivery. Common joinery widths for the popular saws are generally held in stock in Georgia; wide log-saw blades, T22 wet-wood versions and extension track sections are brought in to order and normally arrive within a few weeks. Sawmills ordering multi-blade packs should tell us their monthly consumption so we can hold stock against it.
