The lifespan of bandsaw blades for sawmills can vary depending on several factors, including the type of wood being cut, the maintenance of the blade, the quality of the blade, and the operating conditions. When operating a sawmill bandsaw, a general rule is to replace the bandsaw blade with a sharpened one on average every 1,5 hours of cutting.
For hardwoods and abrasive materials, blades may wear out more quickly and need to be sharpened or replaced more frequently. Regular maintenance, such as proper tensioning, alignment, and keeping the blade clean, can also help extend the blade's life. If you’re cutting particularly tough or abrasive materials, you might need to replace the blade more often.
