Choosing the Right Sawmill Blade

There are a couple of things to consider before purchasing a sawmill blade. The following list will help you choose the right one.

1. Blade Length

The length is the overall length of the blade. This is determined by your sawmill’s specifications. We carry a wide range of sawmill blade lengths. 

2. Blade Width

This is measured from the tip of the teeth to the base. The most common width is 1 1/4″. More powerful, higher horsepower sawmills, for example, are able to use wider sawmill blades. As a result, a wider blade allows you to cut more difficult logs.

3. Tooth Pitch

The pitch of a sawmill blade is the distance between the tips of the teeth. As a result, the pitch determines the cutting power each tooth has and how rough the blade cuts. The most common pitch is a 7/8″ pitch (1.1 teeth per inch (TPI)). A 3/4″ pitch (1.3 TPI) is also popular. This means then that the teeth are separated by a 7/8″ gap. For well-dried hardwood logs and also frozen logs, some people choose a 3/4″ pitch. The 3/4″ pitch allows for less power per tooth, which means lighter cuts and also cleaner cuts.

4. Blade Thickness

The Blade’s thickness has an impact on a couple of things for the sawmill blade. First is flex life. A thinner blade will have a longer flex life than thicker blades. Thicker blades in general will snap before a thinner blade. A thinner blade also requires less horsepower in comparison to a thicker blade. For higher horsepower sawmills, a thicker blade may be a good option for harder, frozen, dry or knotty logs.

5. Teeth Angle

The angle of the teeth is determined by how many degrees the teeth angle forward from 90 degrees. A lower angle blade is generally used on harder, frozen, and more dense hardwood logs. On our online store, we offer two angles options.

10° Hook angle

In general, a 10° angle sawmill blade is very popular for all-purpose milling. For over 95% of logs, this angle will cut those logs with ease.

7° Hook angle

Better at cutting hardwoods, frozen logs and dry hardwoods. A shallower angle allows for easier cutting on harder logs.
