Imachinist S591214 Bi-Metal Band Saw Blades 59-1/2-inch X 1/2-inch X 14 TPI

Time will tell on durability, I see no problems now using the bi-metal blade for cutting antler, fossilized ivory and coral.

It cut great in the beginning. Impressively so. But it didn't last long. Cutting 1/2 inch 6061 aluminum. I've never before had a cutting tool that lost ALL ability to cut. I see no advantage of this over a standard 14TPI blade.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED

For the 3rd time so far I have received the wrong item. When I need to change a blade which takes less than 10 minutes turns into over an hour due to going back and forth to get proper blade, for this down time now for the 3rd time I think I deserve some type of credit, like say one free blade. Thank you.

It works great for thin metal and aluminum. Tried to cut a 1/8" flat bar and immediately the blade went dull so be careful what you cut with it.

i was dissatisfied with the performance i got from my bandsaw from day one. Since it was cheap (skil 9 inch) i thought the sluggish performance was normal, i recently ran out of the blades the saw came with. so i got this one and oh my goodness! what a difference! it made cuts i never thought possible from my saw, at first impression the blade feels totally different than the skil ones, very high quality and solid, never going back.

Been looking for a blade that will cut bone and deer antlers and stay sharp. This one did the job. Perfect for what I need it for.

Bought the bimetal saw blades that were available local and I probably couldn't cut warm butter with them. This blade made in china and all can cut through light metal and aluminum very easy. I used it on exhaust pipe and angle iron and it did much better than expected. Will buy again.
