Bandsaw blades are crucial to many industries. That’s why businesses such as fabrication workshops or steel providers rely on dependable bandsaw blade suppliers to provide blades that will cut cleanly, accurately, and at the best price per cut.
But get the wrong manufacturer or the wrong blades, and the opposite can be true. Blades become a burdensome expense while delivering low-grade finishes and a decreased life.
Given how important this is, it’s surprising how little information there is on the internet about the largest bandsaw blade suppliers on the market. Too often, all that’s discussed is around the blade’s longevity, but buyers need to know more.
With that in mind, we want to address one of the key questions of the bandsaw blade market, so we can remain transparent in helping to ensure that our buyers determine what company will best fit their bandsaw blade needs.
We'll also give you a list of the 5 most important things to look for in a bandsaw blade supplier, and why you should pick yours carefully.
We don’t want any bandsaw user to experience buyer’s remorse after selecting a blade, only to find out other information they wished they had at the time they were buying.

Top 5 things to look for in a bandsaw blade supplier
Ultimately, the decision rests on your shoulders to choose the right bandsaw blade manufacturer.
That being said, here are 5 key things that you should look for in a bandsaw blade supplier to make sure they tick the boxes.
- Range
- Service
- Quality
- Expertise
- Guarantees
1. Range
Ensuring that your bandsaw blade manufacturer has an extensive range to suit a wide variety of applications is critical. Due to the broad range of applications for bandsaw blades, there are many different types of blades that a supplier needs to stock to best serve their customers. Simply put, a supplier that doesn't stock the best blade type for your application (or pushes you towards a second-best alternative) isn't the right supplier for you.
Tip: When choosing a blade supplier, ensure they stock the blades you need currently or any you're likely to need in the future.
2. Service
Service is an important part of any industry, particularly in the industrial cutting sector. You deserve to get your blades sooner rather than later, and with a smile. That's why we strive to dispatch our blades within 48 hours of receiving the order, so you don't have to wait.
Tip: When choosing a blade supplier, make sure that their service is top-notch.
3. Quality
Quality is an important consideration when choosing a bandsaw blade supplier. Low-quality blades aren't just more dangerous (more prone to premature breakage), they're more expensive over the long run as their shorter life means you'll use more of them. They'll also perform at a lower standard, giving you decreased speed and surface finish. On the other hand, quality blades like the Excision blades that are German-made will give you higher performance and a lower cost-per-cut.
Tip: Choose a supplier that prioritizes quality over cost, because otherwise, you'll be the one that pays for it.
4. Expertise
Your bandsaw blade supplier should be an industry expert. Having a supplier you can trust as an advisor is especially important when things go wrong. Remember that having technical cutting specialists available at your beck and call to sort out your issues and answer your questions is not a luxury every blade supplier affords their customers. It will cost you more, but you'll end up with peace of mind and better results while cutting.
Tip: Look for a bandsaw blade supplier that knows their stuff, so you can ask them the hard questions and get the right answers.
5. Guarantees
Your bandsaw blade supplier should be able to guarantee the quality of their blades. Here at Excision, we guarantee our welds through a unique stress-test process that makes sure our welds meet our high standards so you get what you pay for.
Tip: Only use a bandsaw blade supplier that can guarantee the quality of their welds.
