A bandsaw blade comprising: a blade beam formed with a plurality of cutting teeth, wherein successive teeth are separated by a gullet bordered by: a back of a leading one of the successive teeth, a front of a trailing one of the successive teeth, and a radiused bottom; the back joining the radiused bottom by a generally convex transition portion; wherein the teeth form at least two identical groups; each group including two successive teeth defining a shortest distance therebetween; wherein the following relationships are valid concerning the teeth of each group: D ′ ⁢ 1 D ′ ⁢ 2 = C ′ ⁢ 1 C ′ ⁢ 2 = A ′ ⁢ 1 A ′ ⁢ 2 wherein D′ 1 is a depth of a given gullet, D′ 2 is a depth of the smallest gullet, C′ 1 is a radius of the bottom of the given gullet, C′ 2 is the radius of the bottom of the smallest gullet, A′ 1 is a distance between successive teeth separated by the given gullet, and A′ 2 is a smallest distance between successive teeth.
