5 Best Bandsaw Blades for Resawing (2023 Reviews) - Sensible Digs (2023)

This Timber Wolf blade is said to be able to cut 60% faster than standard thin kerf blades, thanks to its high silicon carbide steel material. It is ideal for resawing thicker stock and can cut under lower tension, which requires less horsepower from the saw.

Carbide also has the benefit of staying cooler for longer while cutting. This improves its durability, as heat is one of the main reasons that blades dull during use.

Timber Wolf makes excellent bandsaw blades, which is reflected in their price. Beginners might want to look elsewhere to save money but, if you have the budget, this is one of the best blades you will find.

Product Specs

This Milwaukee blade is high-speed steel and 8% cobalt to make it extremely durable. Its teeth are electron-beam welded to a special backing that ensures a long lifespan, dulling about three times slower than standard bandsaw blades.

The angles of the teeth and their deeper gullets also reduce the vibrations while cutting, which results in a smoother finish and less noise during use. Its relatively high TPI means this blade will also cut through metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, and even bronze.

Milwaukee states that its products are American-made, but they also say the blades are imported. It appears that the steel is Chinese, but the blades are assembled and welded in the United States, so both statements are true to an extent.

These blades are high quality and come in a pack of three, so they offer good value and mean you will have two spares when the first blade eventually dulls.

This DeWALT portable bandsaw blade set is made of 8% cobalt and high-speed steel. This gives it the heat resistance and overall durability needed to keep it sharper for longer.

The teeth score an impressive 65 to 67 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale, a sign that they won’t dull as quickly as carbon steel blades. This also means the blade can cut at high speeds for longer. It has an alloy steel back for greater strength.

This blade is suitable for cutting thick, medium, and thin gauge metals, thanks to its high tooth count and thin kerf. These DeWALT blades are reasonably priced but still score highly for customer satisfaction. As they are sold in a three-pack, they provide even better value for money.

This is an Olson skip saw blade, which means it has a zero-degree rake angle and widely-spaced teeth. This also makes it a perfect tool for cutting through hardwood.

The benefit of a zero-degree rake is that the blade gums less while cutting because the teeth scoop out most of the debris and sawdust. This prevents the blade from overheating as quickly, which will keep it from dulling for longer. By removing debris, you will also have a clearer view of the cutting line, helping you achieve a neat finish.

This is an excellent all-purpose blade. It is affordable, allowing beginners and less experienced bandsaw users to get working without spending a lot of money. Despite its lower price, it will cut through hardwood and softwood, plastics, non-ferrous metals, and mild steel.

It is compatible with most stationary, floor-standing, and vertical two-wheel bandsaws.

Product Specs

This Powertec saw blade has a set of raker teeth that scoop the excess debris and sawdust away from the blade more efficiently. That means less friction and the blade staying cooler while cutting, which preserves its teeth for longer.

It has 10 teeth per inch, enabling it to neatly cut softwood and non-ferrous metals. It can also cut plastics and aluminum, with teeth that score 64 to 66 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.

The blade is made of high-carbon steel, which provides an ultra-sharp cutting edge but dulls relatively quickly. While it can saw through hardwood, you should stick to softer materials if you want to preserve the blade for longer.

Carbon steel is flexible, so it is ideal for cutting awkward angles. It has far more flex than rigid cobalt and carbide steel blades.
