Description
The 1736 mm bone band saw blade is made from laminated carbon steel with a special pearled tooth rated for double life. It matches saws taking a 1736 mm band and is built for cutting bone with a clean finish and no residue. Supplied in a box of four blades.
Band type: BONE (4 TPI). Tooth size: 6.35 mm (4 teeth per inch). A very balanced option for bone-in meat and for improving the look of the cut. Especially suited to machines with a linear speed below 20 m/s. Dimensions: 1,736 × 16 × 0.50 mm (length × width × thickness).
What a 1736 mm bone blade is used for
Bone-in cutting is the job most butcher’s shops own a saw for in the first place. Rib chops, rib racks, shanks, pieces cut down for stock: all of it comes off this machine, and in every case the quality of the finish depends directly on the condition of the tooth.
- Butcher’s shop: loin racks, rib racks and cut-down pieces.
- Preparation room: batch preparation of bone-in product.
- Supermarket: daily cutting on the meat counter.
- Catering: cutting up pieces for the menu.
- Cutting room: separating bone-in sections.

Cleaning the saw
Along with the mincer, the band saw is the piece of equipment that demands most attention in a cleaning plan. Tissue debris, fat and bone dust build up on the band, the guides, the lower tray and inside the housings.
That daily strip-down is also the best chance to inspect the band. Broken teeth and uneven wear are easy to see with the blade off the machine and hard to spot with it fitted, and catching them in time is what stops a band failing mid-cut.
What the supply includes
Box of four 1736 mm band saw blades for cutting bone.
This length is also available in a fresh meat version and in a frozen version.
Frequently asked questions
Which band do I need: meat, bone or frozen?
It depends on what you cut and on your saw’s linear speed (it is in the manual; if you do not know it, call us on +34 967 219 649 with the make and model). The three versions, in this length:
- MEAT (half-moon): 7 mm (half-moon) tooth. Recommended for fresh meat. Dimensions: 1,736 × 16 × 0.40 mm (length × width × thickness). See the 1,736 mm meat band.
- BONE (4 TPI): 6.35 mm (4 teeth per inch) tooth. A very balanced option for bone-in meat and for improving the look of the cut. Especially suited to machines with a linear speed below 20 m/s. Dimensions: 1,736 × 16 × 0.50 mm (length × width × thickness). (this blade)
- FROZEN (3 TPI): 8.46 mm (3 teeth per inch) tooth. Recommended for frozen product: a more aggressive cut and high production volume. Works especially well on machines with a linear speed above 20 m/s. Dimensions: 1,736 × 16 × 0.50 mm (length × width × thickness). See the 1,736 mm frozen band.
How often should the saw be cleaned?
At the end of every working day as a minimum, dismantling the accessible parts. In workshops that alternate species or product types, also between batches, as a cross-contamination control.
Can the band be washed with a pressure hose?
Always according to what the machine manufacturer specifies, and with care around bearings and electrical parts. What is not open to debate is drying it afterwards: carbon steel rusts if it is left damp.
When does the band have to be replaced?
When you have to push the piece, when the bone splinters, or when broken teeth appear. That last point matters most: a band with broken teeth is already fatigued and can break during a cut.
Is it worth keeping all three versions?
It depends on the work. If you only cut bone, this one is enough. If you alternate fine slicing and bone, keep the meat version too. The frozen version only makes sense if you genuinely handle frozen product.
Why does beef bone wear the band faster?
Density. Adult beef bone is considerably harder than pork or lamb, and every cut asks more of the tooth. A workshop working beef should plan for higher band consumption.
How do I know what blade length my saw needs?
The number in the product name (1600, 1820, 2330…) is the blade length in millimetres, and it must match exactly the length specified by your saw’s manufacturer on the rating plate or in the manual. If you have no documentation, measure the old blade laid out along its full circumference. Bernad® can help you confirm the length your machine takes.
How many blades come in a box, and how should I store spares?
Four blades, folded to take up less space and travel protected. Store them in their box, somewhere dry and with nothing heavy on top: moisture rusts carbon steel and crushing deforms the blade. When unfolding them, wear gloves and leave space around you, because the blade springs back into shape suddenly.
