These carbon steel blades are flexible for cutting curves. Also known as skip-tooth raker-set blades. These have extra space between the teeth for chips to collect, resulting in clog-free cuts in softwood such as pine, cedar, and redwood. Cut blades to length and use a band saw welder to join the ends. Tooth size and number per inch are constant throughout the blade, and the teeth are set to the left and right in a repeating pattern. Choose blades with more teeth per inch for a smooth finish; choose blades with fewer teeth per inch for fast, rough cutting.
