Tooth form
What the manufacturer publishes about the tooth form of this blade.
- EZ tooth
- A tooth Bahco designed to cut all common materials and resist tooth stripping, for workshops cutting varied sizes. Its pitch is chosen as S (small), M (medium) or L (large) for the cutting range: Bahco says S gives a good surface finish, M good band life and L speed of cut.
- Source: Bahco's published range.
Set and kerf
The set is the sideways angle given to the teeth. It makes the cut wider than the band body, so the body and the tooth edges clear the cut instead of rubbing. A wider set suits work where the cut tends to close on the blade. We do not publish a kerf or set width figure for this blade: ask us if your job depends on one.

About this blade
Bahco Easy-Cut 3857 is a bi-metal bandsaw blade for multipurpose and contour cutting. Bahco aims it at general purpose sawing in tool rooms, fabricating and welding shops. It is the sensible default where one blade has to cover varied sections and materials through the week. Supplied cut to length and welded in the UK.
Specifications come from the manufacturer's published information. If the job is unusual, talk to us before you order.

Industries that use this kind of blade
Reading the TPI
TPI is the number of teeth per inch along the band. A single figure, such as 14, is a constant pitch: the teeth are evenly spaced. Two figures, such as 2/3, are a variable pitch: the spacing changes along the band between 2 and 3 teeth per inch, which breaks up vibration and lets one blade cover a wider spread of section sizes.
Read the pitch against the thickness of metal the teeth pass through. The published rule is to keep between 6 and 24 teeth in the cut: too few and each tooth takes too big a bite, too many and the gullets clog. Thick sections need a coarse pitch, thin sections and tube walls a fine one.
For tube, profiles and bundles the pitch depends on the wall thickness too. The blade finder works it out from your section and names the chart it used.
Pitch for solid sections

| Section thickness | TPI |
|---|---|
| 0 to 5mm | 18 |
| 4 to 8mm | 14 |
| 2 to 15mm | 10/14 |
| 8 to 20mm | 8/12 |
| 16 to 30mm | 6/10 |
| 25 to 40mm | 5/8 |

| 120 to 400mm | 1.5/2 |
| 250mm and up | 1.1/1.6 |
| 400mm and up | 0.75/1.25 |

Carbide-tipped bladesBi-metal vs carbide bandsaw blades, an honest decision guide
How bi-metal and carbide-tipped bandsaw blades are made, where each construction wins and how to judge them on cost per cut rather than price per blade.
Bi-metal bladesBreaking in a new bandsaw blade, why and how
A razor-fresh bandsaw blade micro-chips under full feed. A short break-in at reduced feed hones the edge instead and repays itself in blade life.
Bi-metal bladesM42 vs M51 bandsaw blades, when the upgrade pays
M42 and M51 are the two cobalt HSS grades on bi-metal bandsaw blades. What separates them, when M42 is enough and when M51 repays its higher price.
