> 24 hourMy Jet horizontal band saw wasnt cutting so good any more. Took forever to cut a small piece of aluminum. Bought this blade and was pleased at how well it cuts.

> 24 hourThis is an excellent metal cutting blade, works perfect in my Harbor Freight horizontal saw. The original blade the saw came with was a 14 TPI, not bad, but snapped. Replaced it with a US made 14 TPI which was total crap, dulled quickly and snapped. Ive used this bi-metallic blade for about two weeks now, and works perfect. Cuts quickly and smoothly, does not gum up and is a big improvement over the high-carbon blades. This is also pretty thin so it cuts quickly and passes easier in the metal. Excellent quality blade, very good steel, and comes nicely packaged with a plastic guard over the teeth so they dont chip. For the price, I dont think theres any other blade nearly as good.

> 24 hourCut 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.

> 24 hourafter 2 years and a few hundred cuts, it still cutting very well, images speak for themselves, I do work on a lot of projects at home, bbqs, trailers, mechanical tools, ornamental, etc, I have this blade on a HFtools 4x6 saw, I dont do industrial work, but I do a lot of repetitive cuts with this tool. the imachinist blade has been a great upgrade to the HF saw, I have been able to cut grade 8 bolts, 1x4inch steel, tool steel, stainless, square tube, I highly recomend this blade

> 24 hourI 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.

Blade Teeth Selection Advice and Welding Joint Comparison
How to Improve Life
- Blade installation is the first step, make sure teeth is shown outside the guide, and blade strip is clamped tightly inside the guide.
- Teeth direction should be the same with the direction of wheel rotation, twist the blade from inside to outside if teeth direction is opposite.
- Running-in is required when blade cuts metal for the first time. It"s important for blade life. During running-in, cutting speed should be 1/3 of normal speed, feed should be 1/4 of normal feed. Usually, after the blade cuts the first several pieces, like 5-10 pieces, adjust cutting speed and feed gradually to normal speed according relative parameters and your metal.
- Blade tension will be different for differnt wide blades, as time goes on, blade tension will be reduced by the bandsaw and blade stretch, make sure the blade is correct tension, our recommended blade tension is 300N/mm2.
- Coolant will be useful to cool and lubricate blade and teeth during cutting, better coolant could avoid overheat on the teeth of the blade, and reduce friction between the blade and the metal you cut.
- Teeth selection is also important, here are our experience:
- big variable teeths (like 3/4TPI, 4/6TPI, 5/8TPI) are for cutting ferrous solid rod with big diameter;
- big constant teeth (like 6TPI) is for cutting ferrous solid rod with small diameter;
- big variable teeth (like 6/10TPI) is for cutting aluminum, copper, brass etc and other non-ferrous metal;
- middle variable teeths (like 8/12TPI, 10/14TPI) are for ferrous thick tubing, profile, sheet, plate etc;
- small constant teeth (14TPI) is for general purpose;
- small variable teeths (like 12/16TPI, 14/18TPI) is for ferrous thin tubing, sheet, plate, profile etc;
- small constant teeth (24TPI) is for ferrous thin tubing, plate, sheet etc, don"t cut non-ferrous metal, like aluminum etc.
