Best bandsaw blade: one listing for the job you have

Updated: 22 October 2026

A search for the best bandsaw blade on amazon.co.uk drops a 733 mm metal pack into the same row as 1400 mm wood loops, then sorts by stars. A 5.0 from two reviews can sit above a 4.5 from 500. That sort does not know your saw. The [band saw blade comparison](/hub/saw-accessories/band-saw-blade) holds all twelve shelf prices. How the measurements are chosen is on the [buying guide](/hub/saw-accessories/band-saw-blade/sub/band-saw-blade-buying-guide). Prices and stars are the listings on 19 October 2026, and a qualifying purchase can earn us a commission.

Best is a length, not a trophy

A blade is only a reasonable buy when the loop length matches the saw. Bench wood blades cluster at 1400 mm, with separate 1425 mm and 1575 mm sets, plus one 3380 mm blade. The Starrett pack is 733 mm and 18 TPI for cordless metal saws. A 3380 mm Xcalibur blade at £25.99 will not fit a Scheppach-size bench saw, and it has 5.0 from one review with no comment. A 1575 mm set will not tension on 1400 mm wheels. Inside one length, a 5.0 from two reviews is still a thinner file than 4.5 from 500.

For mixed wood on a 1400 mm saw

If the manual says 1400 mm and the work is mixed wood, start with 6 TPI and a spare. The AYAO pack, B07NYNBLKD, is two 1400 mm by 6.5 mm by 0.4 mm high-carbon blades at £17.99. The bullets call it a wood-cutting blade for Draper 13773, Charnwood 711, Scheppach HBS 20, Fox F28-182, and Einhell TC-SB 200/1. It is 4.5 from 500 reviews, the largest sample here, so it is the top pick for that job. It is not a laboratory winner. Some welds opened and some edges died early. Others report a long, straight cut. Skip it for metal, a tight curve, or any other length.

When a finer or narrower blade is the better buy

Plywood and thin stock want more teeth than a rip in thick oak. The Xiansini pack at £8.99, 4.4 from 39, is the best value: two 1400 mm by 6.35 mm blades at 10 TPI, the lowest price, with faults in the file. Reviewers report plywood cuts. One blade came off the wheel. Another pulsed from a lumpy weld. The Xcalibur 14 TPI two-pack at £24.99 dulled in oak about 20 mm thick in one review, and another buyer got one rusty blade. Keep that spend for thin sheet on a confirmed 1400 mm saw. A 1425 mm or 1575 mm curve set will not fit those wheels.

Skip the wood shelf for a cordless metal saw

A cordless saw for tube and Unistrut is not fed from the 1400 mm carbon shelf. The Starrett Univerz three-pack, B0D3RJTBRQ, is 733 mm by 13 mm, 18 TPI, £29.99, 3.9 from 17 reviews, for Starrett S1005, Bosch GCB, and Hilti SB4-A22. Screwfix lists it as bi-metal for solid metal up to about 5 mm, at £26.99. Reviews report a weld snap and teeth gone on M10 rod after about ten pieces. Mechioo at £12.99, with one setup review, does not replace that loop. Fitting is on how to change a bandsaw blade.

Common questions

Which blade if my saw is 1400 mm and I cut mixed wood?
The AYAO two-pack at £17.99: 1400 mm, 6.5 mm wide, 6 TPI, wood in the bullets, 4.5 from 500 reviews. It is the top pick in this set for that job because of the sample and the pitch, not because a lab crowned it. Some welds snapped and some edges died early, so check the joint. It is the wrong pack for a tight curve or for any other length.
Is the highest star rating the one to buy?
Not when the count is one or two reviews. Several 5.0 lines in this set sit on a single comment or on none. The AYAO 4.5 from 500 tells you more about mixed wood at 1400 mm than a perfect score on an unreviewed 3380 mm blade. Read the length first, then the number of reviews, then the complaints.
Is a £8.99 two-pack a false economy?
It can be the right spend for 10 TPI plywood on a 1400 mm saw, which is why the Xiansini pack is best value here. It is a false economy if the weld pulses, the blade walks off the wheel, or you needed 6 TPI for solid timber. A snapped cheap blade still costs the afternoon. The AYAO pack costs more and has both long cuts and broken welds in the file.
When is the 14 TPI Xcalibur pack the wrong spend?
When the timber is as thick as the oak in the review, about 20 mm, where that blade dulled quickly, and when £24.99 is more than the 6 TPI two-packs. It is also the wrong spend if one of the two blades arrives rusty, which one reviewer reported. Keep it for thin sheet and plastic, on a saw that is actually 1400 mm.
What should a cordless-saw user buy instead?
The Starrett 733 mm 18 TPI three-pack, if the saw is a Starrett S1005, Bosch GCB, or Hilti SB4-A22. Screwfix prices the same part at £26.99 and rates solids to about 5 mm. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.9 from 17, with short life on M10 rod and Unistrut in the reviews. A 1400 mm wood blade will not fit that machine.
