Catalogue of the brand
The WIKUS bandsaw blade range
Choosing the right blade depends on the material to be cut, the shape and dimensions of the workpiece, the bandsaw machine and the required cutting performance. The WIKUS range includes solutions for everyday sawing tasks and demanding industrial applications.
Bi-metal bandsaw blades
Bi-metal bandsaw blades combine a flexible alloy backing with a wear-resistant cutting edge. They offer a strong combination of cutting quality, blade life and versatility and suit a wide range of metals, workpiece shapes and sawing machines.
The range includes versions in M42 and WIKUS’s exclusive X3000® cutting material. Depending on the application, versions are available for profiles, tubes, bundles and solid stock.
- PRIMAR® M42 - the versatile bi-metal band saw blade for small and medium-sized workpieces.

Carbide-tipped bandsaw blades
Carbide-tipped bandsaw blades are designed for high cutting capacity, maximum productivity and difficult-to-machine materials. High-quality carbide teeth, suitable tooth geometries and the right backing deliver strong cutting performance and long blade life.
WIKUS offers several carbide grades, set or ground tooth geometries and hard-coated versions. This allows the sawing solution to be matched closely to the material, machine capacity and desired production output.
- TAURUS® - the versatile carbide band saw blade for solid materials in steel and non-ferrous metals.
- FUTURA® - the powerful carbide band saw blade for high cutting performance in steel and solid materials.
- ECODUR® - the carbide band saw blade for aluminium, copper and other non-ferrous metals.
- DUROSET® - the robust carbide band saw blade for steel, cast iron and thick-walled materials.
For specialist materials and applications, WIKUS also offers coated bandsaw blades. The range includes diamond-coated DIAGRIT® versions, CBN-coated CUBOGRIT® versions and carbide-coated solutions. They are used for composites, fiberglass, graphite, hardened materials and other workpieces that are difficult to cut.
For these applications, grit size, blade dimensions and cutting parameters are crucial to efficient results. Our team can help you select the right technical specification.
