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

The one I received didn’t run well out of the package. The weld joint was not ground flat on the back of the blade and hit the shoulder of the wheel on the band saw.

Product looks to be good quality

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

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

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

Exact fit. Cuts straight. Good value.

I bought the Imachinist S6412121014 blade in august of 2019. at the time the blade that originally came with my bandsaw was working fine. After two moves of my shop and two years eight months later I finally got tired of hearing my bandsaw bump and grind like a bad erotic dancer. I replaced the blade with the iMachinist and took a cut on some 5/8-inch steel round stock. It was a beautiful cut. I chose the 10/14tpi blade because most of my cutting is aluminum with some plastic, wood and steel thrown in. The blade was very surprising on the cleanliness of cut.

Installed this blade on a recently purchased Harbor Freight Metal Band Saw without any problems. I am cutting thin wall mild steel tubing (1/2 to 1” by 1/16” wall) at a slow speed and very little downward force. After installing the blade, I made sure it was aligned vertically and horizontally, so it would cut square. Since installing the blade I have probably made 50 cuts without any problems. The only change I might make is to use a 14/18 tooth blade, because I generally only cut thin wall steel. I would recommend this blade! BTW, the stand is made of 1” sq x 1/16” wall mild steel tubing with wheels, cut with this saw before installing the new blade.

I am very happy with my purchase well worth it

Teeth durability. Teeth offset on one side dull then cuts very crooked.
