BOSCH BS5912-15W 59-1/2-Inch X 1/8-Inch X 15-Tpi General Purpose Stationary Band Saw Blade

This blade get the job done easy. Its sharp, flexible and sturdy at the same time.

Good strong blades. Much better, in my opinion, than the others offered here!!

When I first got this blade, I inspected it and noticed the weld where the blade is joined into a loop. It looked sloppy, but I figured it wouldnt affect the cut. I installed the blade on my cheapo Ryobi band saw and it breathed new life into the machine. It had never cut straight and would cut a curve in only one direction (related issues, Im sure). Obviously the blade that it came with was terrible. With this new blade, it cut perfectly parallel to the miter track and would cut curves VERY easily in either direction. It cut the 1/16 plywood like butter. I was thrilled. Unfortunately, that bad looking weld actually was bad. The tension on my machine was toward the light end of the spectrum and I was cutting thin material at a moderate feed rate. The blade snapped after about 5 minutes of use, right at the joint. So, Im giving this blade 4 stars only because of an apparent quality control problem. If the joint had been good, I wouldve definitely given the blade 5 stars. Amazon refunded my money and didnt even require that I send the old one back, so 5 stars for Amazon. Ive ordered three more of this blade and hope QC on those will be better, but Im excited about continuing my project cutting with this blade again.

I bought this blade to do detailed cutouts but its broken after first use. I was cutting through two sheets of 1/4 plywood when it happened. Perhaps I should have been using a fewer TPI blade instead? It seemed to have a hard time cutting through before it happened and maybe this blade would be better for soft metal sheet (ie aluminum) or thinner woods and at a very slow rate.

Blades work well if you wish to make curve cuts on the bandsaw. But the cut marks were horrible, even with straight cuts

Good price, but the blade was shipped to me with surface rust all over it. Not too impressed with the weld or the flatness either, but itll hopefully straighten out with tension.

I got it fast and the product was just the right size and seems to work well.

Blade cuts very nicely and seems to stay sharp a lot longer than other blades I have used. Used strictly for wood,

cutting wood

Works great for fine cuts, very smooth cut, I’ll buy again!
