Choosing the wrong TPI is one of the most common causes of slow cutting, poor blade life and stripped teeth.

That's why we've created a free online Bandsaw Blade TPI Calculator.

Simply choose:
• Solid square or rectangular bar
• Solid round bar
• Pipe, tube or structural steel

Enter the material size in metric or imperial and the calculator recommends an appropriate starting tooth pitch in seconds.

Whether you're cutting mild steel, stainless or structural sections, it's a quick way to select a suitable blade before you start the job.

Cutting RHS, pipe, angle iron, or structural steel profiles?
Choosing the wrong TPI is one of the fastest ways to strip teeth or get rough cuts.

Our latest guide explains:
✔ Best blade types for structural steel
✔ Choosing TPI for tube & profile cutting
✔ Why variable pitch blades matter
✔ Tips for reducing vibration and tooth damage
✔ Blade recommendations for NZ workshops

Learn what “structurals” means in the bandsaw industry and why RHS, SHS, pipe, tube, angle iron, and bundle cutting often require specialised profile-cutting bandsaw blades such as Wikus Proflex M42.

This one turned a few heads in the factory…

A **12 metre long, 67mm wide bandsaw blade** — manufactured from **German steel**, welded, finished, and dispatched **the same day** from Auckland.

Delivered overnight to **Taranaki**.

At this size, it’s not just about making the blade — it’s about controlling it.

➡️ Two-person handling from welding through to packing
➡️ Controlled coiling under tension
➡️ Packed and ready for transport the same day

This thing behaves more like a loaded spring than a blade — you don’t take shortcuts.

Real jobs. Real blades. Built in NZ.

Ever had a bandsaw blade snap and thought… what just happened? 🤨

Most of the time, it’s not the blade.

After years in the industry, we see the same causes again and again:
👉 incorrect tension
👉 wrong tooth pitch (TPI)
👉 heat and poor lubrication
👉 machine setup issues

The good news?
Almost all blade failures are preventable.

We’ve put together a practical guide that explains:
• why bandsaw blades fail
• how to diagnose the real cause
• what to change to stop it happening again

If you’re breaking blades, wandering off cut, or just not getting the life you expect — this will help.
