Metal Bandsaw Blades Recommendations

We produce metal bandsaw blades in three versions: the “carbon” grade for the workshop, the bi-metal grade for production and workshop, and the carbide version for special applications.

True to the motto:

We supply the metal bandsaw blades that give you the optimal sawing result.

Which tooth form suits which application?

To meet your every requirement, we offer the material grades of our bandsaw blades in the necessary choice of tooth types:

Standard tooth (S)

This tooth geometry is available in our grades No. 20 GUHEMA Kristall, No. 22 GUHEMA Kristall plus and No. 35 GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic. This geometry is ideal for general, universal use.

Hook tooth (K)

This tooth geometry is available for grades No. 20 GUHEMA Kristall, No. 22 GUHEMA Kristall plus and No. 35 GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic. This geometry is used for austenitic and stainless steels.

Variable toothing (V)

Variable toothing is available in grade No. 35V GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic. This V toothing produces a particularly low-vibration cut and is ideal for bundle cutting as well as for solid material. Because metal bandsaw blades with V toothing cover a considerably wider range of applications, the band changes otherwise required, and with them machine downtime, are eliminated. The lower noise level at the workplace is a side effect of variable toothing that is often praised by staff.

Variable positive toothing (VP)

VP toothing is available in grades No. 35VP GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic and No. 36VP GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic plus. This variable positive toothing achieves maximum cutting performance combined with a long service life. Cutting technology at the highest level.

Variable positive toothing with reinforced tooth back (VP-D)

The variable special tooth form is available in grades No. 33VP-D GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic and No. 34VP-D GUHEMA Bi-Co-lastic.
The tooth design with its extra-strong tooth back was developed specifically for bundle cutting and for cutting profiles and beams. The positive rake angle contributes to optimal chip formation and thus to a clean cut.

Carbide grit

The carbide grit cutting edge is available as a continuous version in No. 40 GUHEMA HM-Granulat and as a gulleted version in No. 41 GUHEMA HM-Granulat. This toothing excels where conventional saw teeth are at a disadvantage.

Positive toothing (P-HM)

Positive toothing is available in grades No. 44P GUHEMA HM-Zähne and No. 45P GUHEMA HM-Zähne. This toothing was developed as the step up into the carbide class. It cuts abrasive workpieces as well as sand-encrusted castings.

Variable positive toothing (VP-HM)

Variable positive toothing is available in grade No. 46VP GUHEMA HM-Zähne. The variable tooth sequence is made up of ground carbide teeth with roughing and finishing cutters. This toothing achieves maximum cutting speed and maximum tool life.

Variable negative toothing (VN-HM)

Variable negative toothing is available in grade No. 47VN GUHEMA HM-Zähne. The negatively ground carbide teeth make it possible to cut extremely hard workpieces. This special toothing is used, for example, on surface-hardened shafts.

Which bandsaw blade width do I need?

As a rule, you should choose the largest band width permitted for the machine. The advantage is the high stability of the band under high feed forces. When using metal bandsaw blades for contour cutting, the width of the bandsaw blade depends on the smallest radius to be cut. The following graphic gives you a visual aid for determining the blade width.

How do I run in a new bandsaw blade correctly?

When using GUHEMA metal bandsaw blades, we recommend observing a few simple but important ground rules for workpiece, machine and bandsaw blade in order to achieve optimal cutting results:

Which cutting speed for which material?
