Abstract: The band saw blade is distinguished by its multi-point and flexible cutting capability when sawing materials. Its wear form is significantly more intricate than that of traditional cutting tools, such as the lathe tool and the milling cutter. Preliminary experimental observations suggest a close correlation between the wear of band saw blades and the motor current of the driving wheel. Therefore, this study evaluates the wear condition of band saw blades using current signals. A mathematical correlation model was established between the driving wheel motor current signals and the load on the band saw. A comprehensive experimental study was conducted on the band saw blade, encompassing the entire lifecycle of sawing operations. The average wear width of the tooth tip was utilized as an indicator of tooth wear, and an investigation was conducted into the correlation between the driving wheel motor current signals and the wear state. The findings indicated that the driving wheel motor current signals could be utilized to assess the blade wear state with high precision, which would facilitate proactive maintenance and replacement strategies to optimize band saw performance and service life.
