Bandsaw Blade Proxxon 28747 — replacement blade for Proxxon bandsaws

Proxxon 28747 replacement bandsaw blade is a spiral saw blade supplied for compatible Proxxon scroll and bandsaws. The blade has teeth around its circumference, allowing cuts in any direction without turning the workpiece and enabling plunge cuts through a 1/16" (1.5 mm) pilot hole. It is sized as a standard 5" blade (125 x 1.2 mm) without pin ends and is intended for cutting plastics and both hard and soft woods. Sold in packs of 12, this blade is a practical spare or replacement to restore cutting performance of compatible Proxxon saws.

Advantages

The spiral tooth profile provides continuous cutting edges around the blade, enabling directional flexibility and smooth plunge cutting through a small pilot hole. Its narrow 1.2 mm width and spiral design reduce binding in intricate cuts and improve chip evacuation when working with plastics and wood. Supplied in multi-packs, the blades offer ready availability for frequent users and model makers who need to swap blades quickly to maintain consistent cutting quality.

How to use

Install the blade following the instruction manual of your compatible Proxxon scroll or bandsaw, ensuring the spiral teeth face the correct cutting direction and the blade is properly tensioned and aligned. For plunge cuts, drill a 1/16" (1.5 mm) pilot hole at the start position, thread the blade through the hole, then re-tension and align the blade before switching on the saw. Use steady feed and moderate speed when cutting plastics or different wood types to avoid melting plastics or burning wood. Replace blades when cutting performance or tooth condition deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, secure the workpiece, and select a suitable saw speed for the material. For best results with plastics, use a slower feed rate and keep the blade clean of melted residue. For hardwoods, a steady, consistent feed prevents tooth dulling and overheating.
