Blade Teeth Selection Advice and Welding Joint Comparison
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:
- big variable teeths (like 3/4TPI, 4/6TPI, 5/8TPI) are for cutting ferrous solid rod with big diameter;
- big constant teeth (like 6TPI) is for cutting ferrous solid rod with small diameter;
- big variable teeth (like 6/10TPI) is for cutting aluminum, copper, brass etc and other non-ferrous metal;
- middle variable teeths (like 8/12TPI, 10/14TPI) are for ferrous thick tubing, profile, sheet, plate etc;
- small constant teeth (14TPI) is for general purpose;
- small variable teeths (like 12/16TPI, 14/18TPI) is for ferrous thin tubing, sheet, plate, profile etc;
- small constant teeth (24TPI) is for ferrous thin tubing, plate, sheet etc, don't cut non-ferrous metal, like aluminum etc.
Welding Joint
We weld blades with high performance welding machine to make sure welding joint looks perfect.
Teeth Direction
Default teeth direction is rightward, if you want leftward direction, please twist the blade from inside to outside.
Original Package
Brand new with original package for this blade with tips behind blade pacakge to help customers.
Metalworking Type
Bi-metal blade is designed for metalworking, ideal for metalworking craftman, blacksmith, mechanic etc.
Compatibility
Accurate length with high performance, compatible with most bandsaws with more choices on teeth pitch.
Ideal DIY Tools
Bi-metal type, M42 grade, 8% cobalt with 2% tungsten, much more fatigue resistant and durable on metal.
Blade Life
Spring steel backer strengthens blade life, hardened edges to cut metal straightly with ease, blade works with high performance.

Great blades for the most part ,out of 6 I have bought only one had a bit of a skip at the weld point .Last a good long time and I hammer the hell out of my saw and the IMACHINIST holds up like a $40 blade ! Just remember to get a good break in on them from the start and the things will stay sharp and be a great blade at a great price

OK... Have a huge project in which I have to build support columns, each column section includes 4 24†long HSS 3 x 3 -3/16 And then 6, 4 inch long. Pieces same size square tubing. My metal supplier asked $7 per cut. So each column which cost me $210 cutting cost only. So I went and bought a cheap ass Harbor freight bandsaw for $200. And one of these blades, and it so each column would cost me $210 cutting cost only. So I went and bought a cheap ass harbor freight bandsaw for $200. One of these blades, and a bosh blade just in case. Made 35 clean cuts so far, and it's still seems to be very sharp, Broke a couple of teeth but I think it paid for itself multiple times already.

agree with a few other reviews in that the recent blades i've ordered have performed much worse than same blades a few years ago. I go through about 1 per month, and i try and give each blade a bit of break in period by reducing feed about half of normal for at least a couple days...followed by normal feed the rest of month. I find this tends to round over the tops of each tooth and they break less and cuts are much smoother and they don't wonder in thin gauge. BUT, the past 6 or 8 blades have broken so many teeth in the first couple of weeks. almost all the broken teeth start right at the weld and just propagate out from there and start bouncing like crazy leading to more broken teeth. the seller and amazon are great since they keep replacing them for me...although it's a PITA not getting good production out of each one. btw, i find that without any break in period, these blades will break teeth almost immediately.

I bought this a week ago on 10/18/17 and received it on 10/21/17 I have used it every day I cut 1/8" up to 1/2 A36 steel and some stainless steel, 3/16 and 1/4 angle at different degrees from 5° to 45° this blade works perfect so far one of the best blades I've bought although I kind of wish I had of purchased the 10Tpi blade instead I think this is still a good buy.

Was a bit concerned as to whether it would be fit for purpose.Now i've used one of the blades on a few objects i''m more than happy with it.It should last me a while.I see no reason so long as your not cutting in a rush & putting too much pressure on the blade or speed,the blade will last.Suitable for home handyman or lite fabrication.Teeth will clog if you cut ally,however it will cut it & the teeth are easy to clear.Lastly when finished using your bandsaw loosen the blade tension & don't store the saw with tension applied.Also there is a noticeable noise when the blade (goes through the cut,i assume its where the join is),it was a bit disconcerting at first,i don't believe it will be an issue

Cuts through aluminum and mild steel like butter..... Can't attest for longevity yet. I have a dozen cuts so far and blade is good. stainless will be the test and don't expect the blade to last very long. will use coolant on stainless so who knows.... will add to review ounce i cut some stainless projects....

Dulled much quicker than my old Lennox blade, it’s ok for the price but I probably would only purchase again to run on thinner tubing not round stock.

El empaquetado, la calidad de la sierra y del corte, todo es excelente hasta ahora. Cumple lo que promete, no se ve el lugar de la soldadura de unión y no hay saltos; el corte es muy uniforme

Amazing quality for the price. Beats any of the local name brands for cutting and durability. I couldnt even find a weld seam!! I get more cuts out of one of these blades than I do from 2 name brand blades, and these blades are less than half the price!! Even got some for my neighbor and he says he will never get any other blade again.

Good bandsaw blade ,well welded and correct length with good tooth transition at the weld. Clean cutting and tracked well on wheels.

I have been using this a long time in my hobby shop in a hobby band saw cutting steel, stainless steel and brass. I'm very happy with it - still going strong. Hobby saws have small diameter wheels which stresses the weld and reduces band life. This band has no problem - I'll be ordering more. One day it will break or be worn out - I don't want to be caught out!
