JET SFX Bandsaw Blade 116 x 5/8 3TPI Use

JET SFX bandsaw blade 116 x 5/8 3TPI describes a JET Tools bandsaw blade designed with a 116 inch length, so it matches bandsaws built around that specific blade size for proper tracking and tension. The 5/8 inch width stabilizes the cut, which helps the blade stay straighter when ripping along grain lines in typical green wood work. A 3 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth count is optimized for green wood, because the larger gullets clear waste more effectively on thicker, wetter stock. The blade is described as being for green wood, so its tooth geometry and spacing are tailored to that material instead of fine finish work. High carbon steel construction makes the blade harder, which supports edge holding during repeated cuts. The same high carbon material also supports longer lasting performance, reducing how often the blade must be changed during production or jobsite cutting.

Key Green Wood Bandsaw Blade Advantages

• The 116 inch length matches bandsaw setups built for this size, which supports stable tracking across the wheels during continuous cutting.
• The 5/8 inch blade width provides lateral stiffness, which resists wandering in the cut when following straighter lines in green lumber.
• The 3 TPI tooth configuration is tuned for green wood, which allows deeper chip space so sawdust clears efficiently on thicker, damp boards.
• The high carbon steel material gives the blade a harder cutting edge, which extends usable life between blade changes in normal use.
• The harder, longer lasting edge from high carbon steel helps maintain cut performance over more passes, which supports consistent results over a full run.

Installation And Fit For 116 Inch Bandsaw Blades

This bandsaw blade is specified at 116 inches in length, which fits bandsaws that are designed around that blade size, such as the Jet JWBS-14SFX models named in the description. The 5/8 inch width seats on the wheels and guides that accommodate that width, so it stays supported during tensioning. A 3 TPI tooth pattern on this length and width behaves best at feed rates suitable for green wood, which keeps the cut from loading with debris. High carbon steel construction tolerates the bending cycle around the wheels while still holding a hard edge, so the blade can run through repeated start-and-stop use without immediate dulling.

How This JET Bandsaw Blade Works In Practice

Where This Green Wood Bandsaw Blade Fits Best

This bandsaw blade is described for Jet JWBS-14SFX, so it is meant for use on that Jet bandsaw family that accepts a 116 inch blade. The 5/8 inch width is well matched to tasks where a straighter rip in green wood is needed, rather than very tight curve work. A 3 TPI configuration works well when the stock is thicker or contains moisture, because the large spaces between teeth let fibers and chips exit the cut quickly. When run on a bandsaw that matches the 116 inch length, the blade tracks around the wheels under proper tension, which supports clean entry and exit from the material on every pass. High carbon steel construction suits shop or site cutting where green boards or logs are processed repeatedly.

Why The 3 TPI High Carbon Design Matters

The specified 3 TPI tooth count on this 5/8 inch wide blade means each tooth has more room to bite and clear, which reduces binding when working through green wood that produces heavier chips. That tooth layout supports steady feed without overworking the saw. The high carbon steel makes the teeth harder, which helps them keep a cutting edge after many feet of sawing, particularly when the material is abrasive or damp. Because the blade is 116 inches long, it shares the load across more teeth during each rotation, which spreads wear and supports a longer usable life. The combination of length, width, 3 TPI pattern, and high carbon steel construction delivers a blade focused on green wood cutting where productivity and consistent performance are the primary goals.
