Tooth Shape guide
Metal Cutting (Evenly pitched)
The tooth shapes have different rake angles, clearance angles and gullet depths. This makes each tooth shape suitable for a specific application.

Metal Cutting (Variably pitched)
These tooth shapes should be used when there is a risk of vibration when cutting tubes, profiles and bundles. Generally, multi- purpose blades are variably pitched.

Combo tooth shape is similar to Regular. It is suitable for
Combo PR, with a
With its advanced design and Positive PS teeth, Combo PS has optimum gullet capac- ity and is the ideal tooth shape for production cutting, especially of alloyed steels.
Combo LK is a low kerf, combo design to provide low vibration, long life and good surface finish in multi- purpose cutting applications. Available in
Carbide Triple Set Xtra, Combo
same as the standard triple set xtra, but with advantage of combo pitches to give smoother, cutting action, low vibrations.
Combo LZ is a low kerf, zero rake combo design available in 4/6 TPI. It provides a zero rake option within the
Specifically designed for difficult to cut shapes, sections, tubes and bundles.
Metal Cutting (Ground profile info)
Advanced tooth design of ground bandsaw blades will give, in combination with precise setting, superior surface finish and extended tool life.
