VariDesign Deluxe
Bandsaw Tooth Design Software

Armstrong's VariDesign Deluxe is a PC-based band saw tooth design and analysis program. VariDesign converts tooth geometry values (such as tooth spacing, gullet depth, hook & back angle) to a graphical tooth drawing and calculates performance data. Both data and graphs are updated as the tooth geometry is modified. VariDesign provides detailed printed reports, full-scale drawings, and data import / export. It includes all the graphical design tools of Armstrong's VariSharp CNC band saw sharpener for controlling the geometry of each tooth in a pattern plus many additional features:

  • Import / Export teeth to VariSharp CNC band saw sharpeners (Design it on your PC; grind it on your VariSharp!)
  • Prints 1:1 scale tooth profile with detailed tooth data: what you see is what you get.
  • Exports data in DXF (Drawing Interchange File), the format most sawmakers prefer to exactly reproduce the designed shape.
  • Over 300 tooth shapes pre-loaded, plus room for a nearly unlimited number of custom designs.
  • Tracks saw data including saw length, width, thickness, kerf, SFPM and average depth of cut.
  • Calculates and displays saw performance data in graphs that are dynamically updated as geometry is adjusted.
  • Generates feed and speed tables for each tooth in a variable pitch segment.
  • Automatically generates a multiple tooth variable pitch and depth (VPD) segment based on a custom tooth you design.
  • Fit to saw function that will fit a custom tooth segment to your saw length.
