Frequently Asked Questions

What band saw blade length does my saw need?

Blades come in specific lengths matched to the saw wheel diameter and frame. Common Canadian butcher shop sizes are 82, 98, 112, 126, and 142 inches. Check the saw's manual for the exact required length.

How do I pick the right TPI for band saw blades?

Choose band saw blades with 3 to 4 TPI for fresh bone-in meat, and 4 to 5 TPI for frozen or thinner cuts. Higher TPI gives a cleaner cut but slower feed, while lower TPI cuts faster and handles thicker bone.

Are carbon steel band saw blades good enough for daily use?

Yes. Carbon steel blades are the industry standard for meat cutting in Canadian butcher shops. They cost less than bimetal and replace easily, fitting the wear pattern of Countertop Band Saws and floor models alike.

When do band saw blades need replacing?

These blades typically last 1 to 3 months in busy shops doing daily bone-in cuts. Dull blades tear meat and overheat, so rotate blades out at the first sign of rough cuts or slowed feed.

Which band saw blade brands does Zanduco Canada stock?

Zanduco Canada stocks band saw blades from Omcan blades in popular lengths matched to Meat Saws stocked on the same site. Blade TPI options cover fresh and frozen cutting needs.

Can the same band saw blades cut fish and poultry?

Yes. Band saw blades cut fish, poultry, and red meat, though dedicating a blade per protein reduces cross-contamination. A 4 TPI blade handles most mixed use, and sanitation between proteins meets Canadian food safety standards.

Should I buy band saw blades in bulk?

Yes, if your shop goes through more than one blade per month. Buying band saw blades in bulk reduces per-unit cost and ensures a spare is always on hand, avoiding cutting downtime during busy production days.
