Olson Bandsaw Blades & Accessories – American-Made Since 1918
Olson Saw Company is one of America's longest-running cutting tool manufacturers, producing high-quality bandsaw blades and accessories from its domestic facilities since 1918. Olson has maintained American manufacturing despite decades of pressure to offshore production, a commitment that translates into consistent quality control and products woodworkers can rely on project after project.
The Olson All Pro Bandsaw Blades are engineered for smooth, accurate cuts in hardwood and softwood alike. Proper blade selection—including the right tooth count and blade width for the curve radius and material being cut—is essential to getting the best performance from any bandsaw. Olson blades are available in configurations suited to both resawing thick stock and cutting tighter curves in thinner material.
Bandsaw blade longevity is significantly affected by friction and heat buildup during cutting. The Bandsaw Blade Lube reduces friction between the blade and the wood, extending blade life, preventing resin buildup, and producing cleaner cut surfaces—particularly useful when resawing dense or resinous species.
Getting the Most from Your Bandsaw Blade
Proper blade tension, guide alignment, and feed rate all contribute to blade life and cut quality. Running a blade with too much or too little tension accelerates wear and produces wavy cuts. Applying blade lubricant consistently, especially on long resawing sessions, keeps heat low and allows the blade to track smoothly through the cut.
