The proper bandsaw blade for composites does not have any teeth on it at
all. The blade consists of a coating of tungsten carbide bits like
rough sandpaper grit adhered to the leading edge of the band. The blade
cuts by abrasion and will break before it wears out. Any blade with teeth
is bad for composites as it will dull and the teeth can grab and delaminate
the sustrate or your bond to the honeycomb.</font><font size=3><br>

What is the best blade to use on a band saw? It has 2 speeds, what is the
best speed (1,450 / 3,000 rpm)?<br>
<br>
I need to cut down two 12 x 24 panels and would like a clean edge ( 1/8”
CF/Nomex/CF panel, and a FG/Nomex/FG panel) .<br>
<br>
Nope, don't use the band saw much….<br>
<br>
Thanks,</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
