Omcan Scalloped Boneless Use Band Saw Blade - 2 Teeth per Inch

Cut for boneless work on meat and fish, the Omcan Scalloped Boneless Use Band Saw Blade - 2 Teeth per Inch uses a 222 scalloped tooth pattern that slices cleanly through soft tissue without the bone-cutting tooth shape that tears boneless product. Wider tooth spacing also clears the cut faster, reducing heat buildup that can drag on long passes.

The thinner tooth-set design cuts a narrower kerf than standard bone blades, reducing waste and bone dust by up to 30%. That output translates directly to recovered yield on every primal worked through, which adds up across a busy butcher shop running multiple sides per day.

Boneless beef, pork, lamb, fish steaks, frozen seafood blocks, and trimmed cuts where bone is already removed all cut cleanest with the 2 TPI scalloped pattern. For bone-in work or general fresh meat with bones, switch to the 3 TPI general use blade rather than running the boneless blade on bones.

Closely held tooth tolerances and uniform heat-treating eliminate scoring and reduce vibration, while the wider gullets between teeth clear cuttings before friction builds. Cooler cutting means longer blade life and cleaner cuts on temperature-sensitive products like fish. Browse the full TPI range and economy blades in our commercial band saw blades range.

Blade life depends on product hardness, cutting volume, and proper tracking on the saw. Heat-treated tooth hardness stays consistent without discoloration, giving extended cutting strength compared to non-heat-treated blades. Replace any blade that shows broken or missing teeth, kinks, or visible wear on the cutting edges.

Yes, follow these for safe blade changes and clean cuts: * Lockout-tagout the saw before any blade change; never swap with power live. * Set blade tension per the saw manual; over-tight blades crack, loose blades wander. * Verify tracking before first cut so the blade runs centered on the wheels. * Match the blade direction arrow to the saw rotation; reversed blades dull immediately. * Wear cut-resistant gloves during installation; new blade teeth are razor sharp.

No; running this blade on bone-in product strips teeth, dulls the blade quickly, and produces ragged cuts. Use the 3 or 4 TPI general-use blades for bone-in work. For matching saws and full butcher equipment to round out the station, browse our butcher equipment and supplies range.
