Why does a bandsaw blade break?

A bandsaw blade can break for a number of reasons . Here are some common causes:

• Incorrect tension : Too much or too little tension on the saw blade causes excessive wear and breakage. See our  service page  for the correct tension per type of band saw.
• Worn tooth setting : Blunt or incorrectly set teeth cause extra pressure on the blade. perhaps  resharpening  the band saws is a solution for you.
• Misalignment : A poorly aligned saw will result in uneven loading.
• Faulty weld : A bad weld weakens the blade and increases the chance of breakage. If this is the case,  contact  us. We will then look for a suitable solution.

What to do in case of a broken bandsaw blade?

1. Switch off the machine and inspect the damage : Make sure the machine has come to a complete stop and check for the breakage.
2. Determine the cause of the break : Look to see if the blade is broken at the weld seam or elsewhere.
3. Check machine settings : Check tension, alignment and cutting speed .
4. Prevent recurrence : Maintain your band saw blade and replace it in time.
