JET SK Bandsaw Blade For General Cutting

JET SK bandsaw blade 67-1/2 x 1/4 gives you a sized blade built for bandsaws that take a 67-1/2 inch length, so you can match the blade to machines designed around this length and keep cuts tracking properly around the wheels. The 1/4 inch width supports controlled curved and straight cuts, so you can handle detail work while still maintaining a true line in thicker material. A .025 inch thickness gives a balance of beam strength and flex, so the blade can stay stable in the cut while still negotiating the bandsaw guides. With a 6 TPI configuration, the teeth are spaced to clear material efficiently in thicker stock, which helps maintain feed rate without overloading the cut. This blade is built as a JET SK model, so it aligns with JET Tools standards for bandsaw cutting performance.

Key Blade Details That Support Daily Work

• The 67-1/2 inch blade length is sized for bandsaws built around this length, so the blade tracks correctly on the wheels and tension system during regular use.
• The 1/4 inch blade width is suited to both straight and curved cutting, so you can switch from following layout lines to ripping thicker stock without changing blades as often.
• The .025 inch blade thickness provides a practical balance of rigidity and flex, so the blade resists wandering in the cut while still running smoothly through the guides.
• The 6 TPI tooth count spaces teeth to evacuate chips in thicker stock, so cuts in deeper material stay freer of debris and feed pressure stays more consistent.
• The skip-tooth tooth design helps create a more open gullet between teeth, so material is carried out of the kerf efficiently during resawing and thicker cuts.
• The carbon flex back steel construction provides a flexible back with hardened teeth, so the blade can flex around the wheels while the cutting edge works to maintain sawing consistency.

Bandsaw Blade Fit, Setup, And Tooth Pattern

The 67-1/2 inch length gives you a fixed reference for selecting a blade to match bandsaws designed around this size, so tension and tracking can be set within the saws normal range. A 1/4 inch width seats well in typical bandsaw guides, so guide blocks or bearings can support the blade close to the work for better line control. With .025 inch thickness, the blade runs comfortably between guides that are set for light to medium-duty work, so adjustments remain straightforward during setup. The 6 TPI skip-tooth pattern presents an alternating series of cutting edges and open gullets, so chip clearance supports steady cutting when working into thicker sections or during light resawing operations.

Using This Blade On Thicker Stock Jobs

Where This JET Tools Bandsaw Blade Performs Best

This JET Tools bandsaw blade is a 67-1/2 inch long, 1/4 inch wide blade built for bandsaws that accept this specific length, so it serves well where that dimension is required for proper tracking. The 6 TPI skip-tooth design is described as working well for resawing and cutting thicker stock, so it fits jobs where you are regularly feeding deeper material into the blade and need room for chip clearance in the cut. Because the teeth are ground and set for sawing consistency, the blade is intended to deliver a predictable cut path over repeated passes, which helps when repeating similar cuts across multiple pieces of thicker material. Made of carbon flex back steel, the blade is constructed so the back can flex around the wheels while the working edge does the cutting, supporting ongoing use in general shop bandsaw work.

Why Tooth Design And Steel Type Matter In Use

The 6 TPI skip-tooth design spaces teeth farther apart and opens up the gullet area, so chips produced in thicker stock have room to clear from the kerf instead of packing in, which helps maintain cutting efficiency under steady feed. When resawing or cutting thicker stock, this same tooth layout lets the blade pull waste out of the cut as it advances, so heat and friction in the cut zone are reduced compared to a closely spaced fine-tooth pattern. The fact that the teeth are ground and set for sawing consistency means the cutting edges and tooth set are formed to present a regular pattern to the work, so the blade tracks in a more predictable way for repeated cuts. Carbon flex back steel construction gives the blade a flexible back with a cutting edge suited to bandsaw duty, so it can repeatedly flex around the wheels while maintaining tooth geometry aimed at consistent sawing results.
