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

so far so good

All is all right

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

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!

love how easy it is to install

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.

This blade did not do what I was hoping, but it seems like a nice blade irregardless. It would not cut 5/64 (~2mm) o1 tool steel prior to hardening. It made a convincing dent in it, but either it or my cheap craftsman saw wasnt up to the task. I now assume Id want something with a much lower tooth count. e: I raised from 3 to 4 stars now that Ive used this on hardwood. Its easily a blade worth the money for hardwood, but Ive since also tried it on a 3/8ths galvanized steel rod with no luck beyond denting and warming it up.

The blade was a perfect fit, and is 3x the blade depth dimension making much better for Straight Cuts without wondering on the material. Much Better than OEM Blades for this B&D Band Saw

So disappointed... finally had some free time to install this blade and it acts like it’s allergic to metal. The second it touches it won’t bite at all. I’m assuming it’s just defective as I’ve bought this same brand blade before and it worked flawlessly. Of course I’m a few days over the return window, or else I’d be sending it back! Oh well.

My band saw is a Bosch and so I purchased this blade since its a direct replacement part, works just like the original.
