Blade Teeth Selection Advice and Welding Joint Comparison

64 1 2 in 5 feet 4 inch 5inch 5inches inches half steel replacement parts bimetal cut hss 1638 1640

How to Improve Life

  • Blade installation is the first step, make sure teeth is shown outside the guide, and blade strip is clamped tightly inside the guide.
  • Teeth direction should be the same with the direction of wheel rotation, twist the blade from inside to outside if teeth direction is opposite.
  • Running-in is required when blade cuts metal for the first time. It's important for blade life. During running-in, cutting speed should be 1/3 of normal speed, feed should be 1/4 of normal feed. Usually, after the blade cuts the first several pieces, like 5-10 pieces, adjust cutting speed and feed gradually to normal speed according relative parameters and your metal.
  • Blade tension will be different for differnt wide blades, as time goes on, blade tension will be reduced by the bandsaw and blade stretch, make sure the blade is correct tension, our recommended blade tension is 300N/mm2.
  • Coolant will be useful to cool and lubricate blade and teeth during cutting, better coolant could avoid overheat on the teeth of the blade, and reduce friction between the blade and the metal you cut.
  • Teeth selection is also important, here are our experience:

  1. big variable teeths (like 3/4TPI, 4/6TPI, 5/8TPI) are for cutting ferrous solid rod with big diameter;
  2. big constant teeth (like 6TPI) is for cutting ferrous solid rod with small diameter;
  3. big variable teeth (like 6/10TPI) is for cutting aluminum, copper, brass etc and other non-ferrous metal;
  4. middle variable teeths (like 8/12TPI, 10/14TPI) are for ferrous thick tubing, profile, sheet, plate etc;
  5. small constant teeth (14TPI) is for general purpose;
  6. small variable teeths (like 12/16TPI, 14/18TPI) is for ferrous thin tubing, sheet, plate, profile etc;
  7. small constant teeth (24TPI) is for ferrous thin tubing, plate, sheet etc, don't cut non-ferrous metal, like aluminum etc.

Completed 60 cuts on 2 x 2 x 0.250 inch square tubing. Then blade broke at weld joint. Cut leaves a nice surface finish. Making the cuts myself allows for high quality fit ups and repeatable accuracy. For $15 a blade, thats 25 cents a cut, much cheaper than the metal supplier.

I bought this for my metal cutting portable miter bandsaw and I am fairly satisfied. I would give it 5 stars except that I haven't been able to get the blades for this saw to last very long without breaking, maybe it has to do with the small radius of the wheels. Anyways, blades from this brand have lasted longer than others I've tried so far, including the blade the saw came with, so I'll give it 4 stars.

Broke after no more than total 10 hours of cutting. Broke right at the weld. I always use plenty of cutting oil and I was really gentle with this blade. That didn't help. I still have one more blade left, maybe that one will last longer!.!UPDATE!After posting the original review I was promptly contacted by the seller, who offered to send me a replacement blade. Today I received the replacement blade. I will buy from this seller again.

Fits the baileigh 127 bandsaw, much cheaper than their blades or ordering from online manufacturers because of shipping costs, if you plan the purchase in bulk, there are better options for the price, but for only a couple of blades in different tooth configurations these are decent

Nice full bi-metal blade. I'm using it on my small Delta band-saw and it cuts aluminum like a champ.Very satisfied, great price-point for this quality.
