Choose the Correct Fit
Confirm the blade loop length against the saw manual. A compact label alone does not establish compatibility between saw models.
Choose pitch for the actual wall or stock thickness. Keep enough teeth engaged and secure the work so it cannot move or pinch the blade.
Installation & Care
Disconnect power before replacement. Fit the teeth in the indicated travel direction, seat the band on the wheels and tension it as directed.
Use a steady feed without twisting the band. Replace blades with cracks, kinks, damaged welds or missing teeth.

Tell Willy your exact saw model, blade length and metal wall thickness to choose the right pitch.
Important Product Questions
Will it fit every compact band saw?
No. This blade is 32-7/8 in long. Match that loop length and the saw maker’s other blade requirements before fitting it.
What should I check when cutting tube?
Select pitch for the tube’s wall thickness, not its outside diameter alone. Support both sides of the cut and follow the saw’s recommended metal-cutting speed.
Can I straighten a kinked blade and reuse it?
Replace a kinked or cracked blade. Bending it back does not restore its strength or remove the risk of failure during cutting.
