Bandsaw Blades for Resawing and General Woodworking

Blade selection is the single biggest factor in bandsaw performance. The wrong blade produces wandering cuts, heat buildup, and surface tearout. The right blade tracks straight, cuts cleanly, and leaves a surface that requires minimal cleanup.

Infinity Tools carries two strong options for woodworking bandsaws. The Infinity Tools Resaw Bandsaw Blades are engineered for ripping thick stock, with a tooth geometry optimized for aggressive material removal and straight tracking through dense hardwoods. The Olson All Pro Bandsaw Blades are a versatile all-purpose option suited for general curved and straight cutting in a range of materials.

Choosing a Bandsaw Blade for Your Application

For resawing large timber or book-matching panels, a wide blade with a low TPI count is the right choice—it tracks straight and clears chips efficiently. For tight curves and detailed work, a narrower blade with a higher TPI produces cleaner radii with less surface roughness. Visit the Infinity Tools learning center for a detailed guide on bandsaw blade selection and tensioning. Pair your blade with bandsaw accessories like Cool Blocks and blade lubricant for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bandsaw blades does Infinity Tools carry?

Infinity Tools carries the Infinity Tools Resaw Bandsaw Blades, optimized for ripping and resawing thick stock, and the Olson All Pro Bandsaw Blades, a versatile general-purpose option.

What TPI is best for resawing on a bandsaw?

For resawing thick lumber, a low TPI (typically 24 TPI) is recommended. Fewer, larger teeth clear chips more aggressively and reduce heat buildup in deep cuts through hardwood. Higher TPI blades produce a smoother surface but cut more slowly in thick material.

What width blade should I use for tight curve cutting on a bandsaw?

Narrow blades in the 1/8- to 1/4-inch range are best for cutting tight curves and detailed patterns. Wider blades have a larger minimum turning radius and are better suited for straight ripping and gradual curves.

How do I know when a bandsaw blade needs to be replaced?

Signs that a bandsaw blade needs replacing include drifting off a straight cut line, burning or scorching the wood surface, difficulty tracking on the wheels, or visible cracked or missing teeth. A blade that has been properly maintained with blade lube and finishing stone dressing will last longer.

Can I use any bandsaw blade on my machine?

Bandsaw blades must match the wheel diameter and blade guides of your specific machine. Check your bandsaw manual for the correct blade length, width range, and tooth set specifications before ordering. Visit the Infinity Tools learning center for blade selection guidance.

What makes the Infinity Tools Resaw Bandsaw Blade different?

The Infinity Tools Resaw Bandsaw Blade is engineered specifically for ripping thick stock. Its tooth geometry and set are optimized for straight tracking and efficient chip clearing in hardwoods, delivering cleaner resaw surfaces than a general-purpose blade.

Yes. The Olson All Pro is a quality hardened-steel blade that handles both hardwood and softwood cutting well. It is a versatile option for shops that do a variety of general woodworking tasks rather than dedicated heavy resawing.
