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 We do not publish a kerf or set width figure for this blade: ask us if your job depends on one.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
Saw37C Flexback is a Dakin-Flathers carbon bandsaw blade with a hardened tooth edge on a flexible back. The published width range runs from 3 to 32mm, so it covers fine contour work through to general ripping on workshop machines. It cuts wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals including aluminium, copper and brass. A sensible first choice for joinery and general workshop cutting where blades are changed often. Every blade is welded to your stated length.
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.
