Band saw blade Proma PPK-90U 1300 x 13 mm, 14 teeth

Proma PPK-90U 1300 x 13 mm, 14 teeth is a bi-metal band saw blade designed for machines that accept a 1300 x 13 mm blade. The blade profile and 14-tooth pitch provide controlled material removal and a balance between cutting speed and finish quality. Intended for workshop and light industrial cutting tasks, this blade is compatible with standard band saws that accommodate its dimensions and tooth configuration.

Advantages

The blade combines a rigid 13 mm width with a 14-tooth arrangement to deliver steady cutting performance and reduced vibration on suitable machines. Its tooth geometry is selected to offer predictable chip evacuation and a consistent kerf, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy during repetitive cuts. The 1300 mm length ensures compatibility with saws designed for this circumference while the construction supports typical metal and mixed-material cutting tasks encountered in small-scale professional settings.

Suitable for

• Cutting mild and medium alloy steels in workshop environments
• General-purpose metal cutting on band saw machines accepting 1300 x 13 mm blades
• Repetitive straight cuts where a 14-tooth pitch provides a balance of speed and finish
• Light industrial applications and maintenance shops

Key specifications

• Blade length: 1300 mm
• Blade width: 13 mm
• Tooth count: 14 teeth (per blade length as manufactured)
• Tooth pitch and geometry: suited to mixed metal cutting with emphasis on controlled removal
• Typical application: band saw machines configured for 1300 x 13 mm blades

How to use

Install the band saw blade according to the band saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct orientation, proper tension, and alignment on the wheels. Before cutting, check blade tracking and tension settings, and adjust guides to minimize lateral movement. Use an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the material being cut; monitor blade condition and heat buildup during operation. Replace the blade if tooth damage, excessive wear, or loss of cutting performance is observed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use suitable cutting fluid when machining metals to extend blade life and improve surface finish. Ensure machine guards are in place and wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Match cutting speed and feed to the material grade and section size to avoid premature wear or tooth damage.
