These saws require a special blade that is ”thinner” than the standard band material. Typically these saws are bench-top and many have 3 wheels instead of the standard 2 wheels driving the blade.
Standard carbon blades are made from a material that is .025” thick – these blades are made from a much more flexible .014” thick material. The .014” thick blades can withstand the flex required to pass over the much smaller diameter wheels typically found on these saws.
