Graphite Bandsaw Types

One of the off-the-shelf models we recommend for cutting graphite is the Forrest Model 236 Heavy vertical blade, traveling-table bandsaw.  In most cases, a bandsaw blade should be able to cut graphite precisely and smoothly enough to eliminate any secondary operations such as grinding.

The ideal cutting speed for this bandsaw model is 0.07 inches per second, which is much faster than the typical bandsaw. If faster speeds are needed, a higher horsepower motor is a better choice.
