Q: Do you custom weld bandsaw blades to any length?

Yes. Every Arntz CS-1 blade is custom loop-welded in-house at our Hamilton, Ontario facility to your machine's exact loop length. We do not sell stock lengths — each blade is made to order.

Q: What is the difference between standard tooth and hook tooth?

Standard tooth (0° rake angle) provides controlled, smooth cuts for thin sections and harder materials. Hook tooth has a positive rake angle that cuts more aggressively, clearing chips faster — better for softer materials and larger cross-sections.

Q: When should I choose a CS-1 carbon blade over a bi-metal blade?

The CS-1 is the right choice for cutting mild steel and non-ferrous materials in a workshop or maintenance setting at a cost-effective price. For higher-volume production, harder materials, or longer blade life, step up to a bi-metal blade like the Sprint-Plus or X-FIT.

Q: Do you ship outside of Ontario?

Yes. While based in Hamilton with most customers in Ontario (GTA, Niagara, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Windsor, Ottawa), we ship custom-welded bandsaw blades across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can the Arntz CS-1 bandsaw blade cut?

The CS-1 is designed for mild steel, low-carbon steel, and non-ferrous metals. It's suited for everyday workshop cutting, maintenance tasks, and general fabrication where economy and reliability matter more than high-performance cutting speed.

What is a carbon bandsaw blade?

A carbon bandsaw blade uses hardened carbon steel teeth on a flexible band back. Unlike bi-metal blades (which have M42 high-speed steel tips), carbon blades are more economical and work well for lighter-duty cutting. The CS-1's flexible pin-point quality band back tracks true on smaller workshop saws.

Do you custom weld bandsaw blades to any length?

Yes. Every Arntz CS-1 blade we sell is custom loop-welded in-house at our Hamilton, Ontario facility to your machine's exact loop length. We do not sell stock lengths — each blade is made to order. Just enter your machine's loop length in inches or millimetres in the configurator above, and we'll weld it to spec.

What widths and tooth pitches are available?

The CS-1 is available in widths from 3×0.65mm (1/8"×.025") up to 32×1.10mm (1¼"×.042"). Tooth pitch options range from 2 TPI up to 32 TPI, with both standard tooth (0° rake) and hook tooth geometry available depending on width.

What is the difference between standard tooth and hook tooth?

Standard tooth (0° rake angle) provides a straight tooth face for controlled, smooth cuts — good for thin sections and harder materials. Hook tooth has a positive rake angle that cuts more aggressively, clearing chips faster — better for softer materials and larger cross-sections. Call us at 1-800-957-2690 for help choosing the right option.

When should I choose a CS-1 carbon blade over a bi-metal blade?

The CS-1 is the right choice when you're cutting mild steel and non-ferrous materials in a workshop or maintenance setting and want a cost-effective blade. For higher-volume production, harder materials, or longer blade life, step up to a bi-metal blade like the Sprint-Plus or X-FIT.

How long does a custom blade order take?

Most custom-welded blades ship within 1–2 business days from our Hamilton facility. We keep Arntz blade coil stock on hand in all standard widths, so turnaround is fast. For urgent needs, call us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate same-day welding.

Yes. Graham Machine Sales & Service provides full band saw machine service, maintenance, and repair across Ontario.

Yes. While we're based in Hamilton and the majority of our customers are in Ontario (GTA, Niagara, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Windsor, Ottawa), we ship custom-welded bandsaw blades across Canada. Contact us for shipping details and lead times to your location.
