Bandsaw Blades & Accessories

For resawing hardwood, a wide blade (1/2" or 3/4") with a low tooth count (2–3 TPI) provides the gullet capacity to clear sawdust and the beam strength to track straight. The Infinity Resaw Bandsaw Blade is designed specifically for these demanding ripping and resawing operations.

Bandsaw drift is caused by blade tension, tracking misalignment, or a dull blade. After tuning tracking and tension, adding a precision aftermarket fence like the Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence lets you set the fence angle to compensate for any residual drift and hold consistent widths.

Tight curves require a narrow blade (1/8" to 1/4") with a higher tooth count (10–14 TPI) for smooth cuts with minimal tearout. Wider blades follow gentle curves but will bind in tight radii. Match blade width to the minimum radius called for in your project.

Featherboards hold workpieces firmly against the fence and table, preventing stock from wandering sideways during the cut. This is especially valuable during resawing, where consistent pressure produces uniform slab thickness. The Bow Products GuidePro Resaw Featherboard mounts directly to the bandsaw for hands-free support.

Bandsaw Blade Lube reduces friction and heat buildup on the blade, which extends blade life and reduces the pitch and resin that can cause the blade to stick to the cut surface. It is especially helpful when cutting resinous softwoods or dense exotic hardwoods.

Resaw blades are wider and have fewer teeth per inch than standard blades, which gives them the stiffness and gullet capacity needed to efficiently remove large amounts of material in thick stock. Standard blades are narrower and better suited for curves and lighter crosscuts. For resawing operations, always choose a blade marketed for that purpose.

A compromise blade around 3/8" wide with 4–6 TPI handles moderate curves and light ripping, but dedicated blades always outperform compromise choices. Serious shops keep at least two blades: a wide resaw blade and a narrow curve-cutting blade, and swap them as the work demands.

Start by replacing the stock fence with a quality aftermarket model for accurate ripping, then add a featherboard for hands-free hold-down. A blade lube stick and a finishing stone are low-cost additions that meaningfully extend blade life. See the full selection of bandsaw accessories to plan your upgrades.

Block guides (typically cool blocks or ceramic pads) press against the blade sides and require occasional adjustment as they wear. Roll guides use bearings that spin with the blade, producing less friction and heat. The Magswitch Dual Roll Guide adds magnetic positioning so you can reposition it without loosening hardware.
