BOSCH BS5912-18M 59-1/2-Inch by 3/8-Inch by 18TPI Multi-construction Bandsaw Blade

Excellent blade for rip cuts.

Great blade at a great price.

This was a total waste of money. I purchased this for a small bandsaw I purchased to cut simple mild steel about 1/8 thick. The blade just skipped around as if the steel was hardened, I can assure you it was not. Finally, the teeth were so badly rounded it wouldnt even cut wood. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! Do not buy this for anything over 1/32 thick. I would ask for my money back but the time and packaging and shipping costs way exceed the cost of this cheap blade.

I remember seeing three blades come with this purchase and only got one.

All is all right

I just opened the box (bought a few years ago) the weld looked suspect, but since its too late to return i decided to use the blade. It lasted about 3 min cutting aluminum, and the blade broke, right at the weld! I thought Bosch would be a quality blade….i thought wrong!

I had been looking for a metal cutting blade for my Delta bench-top band saw. Very happy with this find, Used it to cut aluminum stock for a project and it worked beautifully. 1/8 x 3 angle aluminum and 3/16 aluminum plate. No issues what so ever.

It cuts fine and works good. I use it to cut bone and fossil ivory, I havent used it to cut metal.

I tried this blade on a new band saw and noticed considerable burn marks, teeth breaking off after only 2 cuts and overall a bad cutting experience. I know that it isnt the saw as I changed the blade to a cheap one and it cut great with no burn marks and all the teeth still remain. I am disappointed and wont be buying this blade anytime soon.

I bought this to cut 1/8 mild steel. I got about 3 in and then it quit.
