The Innovation Behind Jarvis Canada’s Bandsaw Blades


In-House Production & Tailored Engineering

Unlike generic, off-the-shelf options, Jarvis Canada manufactures bandsaw blades in-house, tailoring each one to your specific needs. We consider cutting volume, product type (bone-in vs. boneless, fresh vs. frozen), and even machine specifications to design the optimal blade for your operation.


Advanced Materials & Precision Manufacturing

Our blades are crafted from premium steel alloys, including high-carbon spring steel, stainless steel, and bi-metal combinations. These materials ensure superior durability, corrosion resistance, and extended blade life, even under heavy use.


Each tooth profile is precision-ground for consistent spacing and minimal friction, resulting in cleaner cuts with less resistance. We also incorporate laser cutting and specialized heat treatments to enhance blade longevity and maintain cutting accuracy over time.


Rigorous Quality Assurance for Maximum Reliability

Before leaving our facility, every blade undergoes a meticulous inspection process. We check for cosmetic defects, verify proper heat treatment in the weld zone, and test weld hardness and tensile strength to meet strict durability standards. This rigorous quality control ensures minimal breakage and reduces unplanned downtime in your processing facility.

How We Engineer High-Performance Bandsaw Blades


Step 1: Consultation & Custom Design

Every operation is unique, so we start by assessing your specific needs—whether you're cutting beef, pork, poultry, or lamb. We consider factors like cutting volume, bone-in vs. boneless processing, and desired blade longevity to determine the optimal thickness, tooth geometry, and material composition for your bandsaw blade.


Step 2: Rigorous Performance Testing

To ensure every blade meets our exacting standards, we conduct comprehensive quality checks, including:


Visual & Heat Treatment Inspection:

Confirming proper heat distribution and surface integrity.


Weld Hardness & Tensile Strength Testing:

Measuring the weld zone against industry benchmarks to guarantee durability under high-volume conditions.
