Quality metal-cutting blades. Sharp prices. Ready to dispatch.
SharkTooth M42 bi-metal blades are factory cut and welded to length, and stocked in Australia as finished loops. For stocked sizes there's no waiting for cutting and welding after you order. We pick, pack and send.
What M42 bi-metal means
M42 is an industry-standard steel grade. A bi-metal blade joins two steels:
- Teeth: M42 high-speed steel with 8% cobalt, which stays hard when cutting gets hot.
- Backing: flexible spring steel that copes with running around the saw wheels.
- The join: the two are electron-beam welded together.
How SharkTooth blades are made
- Backing steel: spring-steel strip is cut to width.
- M42 edge: a high-speed steel wire is electron-beam welded along the edge.
- Teeth: the teeth are milled into the M42 edge and set.
- Hardening: the blade is heat-treated so the teeth are hard and the backing stays flexible.
- Welded to length: the blade is cut and welded into a loop, ready to fit.
Who makes them
SharkTooth blades are made by a large, publicly listed manufacturer that specialises in bi-metal and carbide bandsaw blades for industries including automotive, steel, forging and energy.
We import direct, so there's no extra layer of distributors between the factory and your saw.
One brand, the right blade for the job
We sell metal-cutting blades only. General-purpose and structural blades both come under the SharkTooth name, but blade design and tooth pitch still need to suit the work. Thin-wall tube, solid bar and heavy structural sections each cut best with a different setup.
Tell us your saw and what you cut, and we'll match the blade. See our Bandsaw Blade Setup & Cutting Guide for tooth pitch and break-in advice.
Why the price is sharp
- One honest price. Our web price is our real price. No inflated list price with a "discount" off it.
- Direct import. We buy from the manufacturer, not through a chain of resellers.
- Stocked locally. Common sizes are on the shelf in Australia as finished blades.
Backed by people who sell and service saws
SharkTooth is run by Industrial Machinery Sales & Service Pty Ltd, the Australian importer of Cosen, Toptec and Daito-Seiki bandsaws. We fit SharkTooth blades to the saws we sell and service. If a blade isn't cutting right, you talk to people who know the saw as well as the blade.
