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.

We weld blades with high performance welding machine to make sure welding joint looks perfect.
Teeth Direction
Default teeth direction is rightward, if you want leftward direction, please twist the blade from inside to outside.

I previously submitted a review expressing my disappointment with the bandsaw blade I ordered. I'm updating that review to a positive review, due to the good customer service from the supplier and their assistance with finding the proper blade for metal cutting.As noted by the supplier, this Bandsaw blade is better for cutting harder metals. Here is the link for that blade, which performed better for me on harder metal. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7HMY1Z5

I bought this saw blade and soon found out that it wasn't up to the task of cutting 1/2" cold rolled steel plate.The company contacted me as I had left a less than favorable review.I was shipped a different blade, at their expense to try out. It couldn't cut it either.More discussion with the same representative and they shipped be wider blade with a different tooth count and width. This is the blade I should've bought to begin with, had I known.Many many thanks Imachinist for their fantastic customer Service and quality product!

Eats 6061 frighteningly fast, 2k+ parts and was going like new, dulled when I used it on poorly cleaned sand castings, the reason should be obvious, sand always wins. Don't let your shop idiot run a saw with this unless you like workman's comp claims over missing fingers, blows through 0.5"x1" 6061 while you glance over your shoulder. I have re-bought multiple times and keep spares on hand, great product. Does like a touch of cutting fluid every few cuts, I use a little shot of wd-40 or similar (diesel) every 5 -10 cuts.

I have a 14" floor model Rikon bandsaw which I also purchased from Amazon and which has performed well as a wood cutting saw. I was asked to cut a few extruded aluminum bars, but was unsure if my saw could be used for that purpose. I purchased the Imachinist bi-metal bandsaw blade for this specific purpose. I needent have worried...my saw (and particularly the new blade) handled the task to perfection. It was like having a 93 1/2 inch hacksaw., It cut through the aluminum stock as if it was butter. I needed to make around 10 cuts and had the job done in about 10 minutes or less. One word of caution which I received from my son: "Make sure you vacuum out the aluminum particles from your saw as prolonged exposure by your belt drive might cause premature failure of your belt drive." This is not a big deal...just use your shop vac to clean up the filings. Great saw and the perfect belt for the job.
