Sawmill Blade Hook Angle Selection Guide
Hook angle is the number of degrees that the tooth face leans forward of 90 degrees.
Back angle is the number of degrees that the backside of the tooth leans backward of 90 degrees.
The hook angle and back angle of a sawmill blade should be chosen based on the type of wood you are sawing and what type of equipment you are sawing with.
- 10° Sawmill Blades - Most popular and versatile all-purpose hook angle with a 30° back angle for sawing softwoods, medium hardwoods, and hardwoods including birch, beech, red oak, cherry, walnut, soft maple, pine and poplar.
Sawmill Blade Tooth Spacing Selection Guide
Tooth spacing is the distance between each tooth from one tip to another. The pitch of a sawmill blade is also used in reference to tooth spacing as the number of teeth per inch or TPI on a bandsaw blade.
- Shorter tooth spacing (3/4”) is used for low horsepower (24HP or less) sawing and resaw purposes, or secondary processing.
- Most common tooth spacing (7/8") is for all-purpose sawing and recommended for most portable sawmill equipment.
