BMT150 Blade Setter
The BMT150 manual blade setter sets both sides of the tooth simultaneously. Handles blade widths from 25 mm to 76 mm and tooth pitch from 6 mm to 32 mm. Includes set gauge as standard for precise measurement.
The BMT150 is a manual blade setter designed for the primary processing stage of sawmill operations, specifically engineered to set tooth rake and hook angles on both sides of a bandsaw blade simultaneously. This dual-sided setting capability is critical for maintaining blade balance and extending blade life in high-volume cutting applications where uneven tooth geometry leads to premature dulling and reduced cut quality. The machine accommodates blade widths from 25 mm to 76 mm and tooth pitches ranging from 6 mm to 32 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of bandsaw blade configurations used in both softwood and hardwood milling. The inclusion of a precision set gauge as standard equipment ensures repeatable, measurable tooth deflection across production runs, eliminating inconsistencies that arise from manual hand-setting methods. This mechanical approach to simultaneous bilateral setting reduces operator fatigue and human error compared to single-side sequential setting. The BMT150 is designed for small to medium-sized sawmills, custom mills, and remanufacturing facilities that process 50+ blade changes monthly and require consistent cutting performance. It suits operations processing logs and cants where blade longevity directly impacts production economics—particularly shops running mixed species or varying log diameters that demand frequent blade adjustments. This tool is essential for mills seeking to reduce downtime between blade changes and maintain tight tolerances on recut or precision-grade lumber products.
