This report describes the results of a mill test investigating the effect of a 15 degree alternate top bevel (ATB) tooth for bandsaws. The test involved comparing the sawing variation and surface roughness of Douglas-fir lumber cut by both ATB and standard saws. The test results showed no improvement in sawing accuracy with the ATB blades. In fact, as the blades became dull, the sawing accuracy of the ATB saws deteriorated faster than for the standard blades. Visual evaluation of surface roughness also indicated that the ATB saws produce slightly rougher lumber. However, this may be due to increased tooth bite associated with the ATB teeth. Further testing will be required to determine if the results of this test are truly representative of the performance of ATB bandsaws in general.
