1/2 inch 3TPI Hook Tooth Bandsaw Blades

We've sold these bandsaw blades for many years. They leave a smoother kerf than other bandsaw blades we've tested, and their welds are the best we've seen in general-purpose blades. Set is modest, trading just a bit of minimum radius capability for cleaner cutting.

This blade is made from .025" thick carbon steel with a hard-edge and a flex-back. It has 3 tpi with a deep, hook style, tooth gullet that is well suited for ripping thick stock and resawing.

Timothy Rousseau recommends this blade in his Fine Woodworking article Learn to Resaw. (FWW # 253 from April, 2016.)

In a test of nineteen 1/2" bandsaw blades, Fine Woodworking chose this blade as a top pick for cutting speed and smoothness of cut. It also won top honors for flatness of cut! (FWW #169 from March/April 2004.)
