Imachinist S6412121014 Bi-Metal Band Saw Blades 64-1/2 X 1/2 X 10/14TPI Variable Teeth M42 for Metal

Liked it so well I purchased a second one as a back up.

Cut 4130 CM Steel tubing like butter. Even cut a few pieces of 416L nicely before i dropped the saw head and bent the blade through the bearings. Good news is that it bent and did not break. packaging was awesome, teeth were protected. Only docked one star because the cut rate is a little slow on mild steel by comparison to more costly name brands.

I am very happy with my purchase well worth it

Cutting mild steel and teeth were already missing on the second cut. REVISED REVIEW BELOW: After I left a negative review (and rightfully so) I was contacted by the company and offered an upgraded replacement. I was sent a blade for stainless and it is performing much better. I would give this blade a 5-star review by itself. I adjusted my initial review from a 1 star to a 3 star to average out the two blades. There is no doubt the first blade deserved the 1 star review but I appreciate the company making things right. The second blade is much better so I would advise anyone to start with the blade made for cutting stainless. Im sure it costs a little more but it is performing better and it appears it will have a much longer lifespan.

Ive had a small machine shop for 13 years that works primarily in aluminum and let me tell you, Ive tried pretty much every brand of bandsaw blade made, and this brand is the one Im using for the foreseeable future. Better price and better construction, on the small horizontal bandsaw, when they eventually break, its NEVER at the weld like others, and on the larger vertical bandsaw they never break, but run so long that they do eventually dull and I replace the blade. They run quiet, and the weld joint is perfect with no space between teeth like some.

Not sure how well they work but look like any other blade as of now

Cuts great. Held up a lot longer then the harbor freight blades.

Great buy for the money. Variable pitch blades work very well.

Issues with initial blade purchase. Seller did a great job of responding to the issue. I am impressed by the service and attention.
