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.
Welding Joint
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.

The shipping was fast. The blade was packed well with a guard covering the teeth which made it much easier to handle. I will certainly be ordering more.

Tried a similar blade for my 9" band saw and they weren't that great. Needed a quick blade for my 14" band saw and gave these guys another shot. The blade is thick so it wastes material. The blade doesn't cut well. My dull blade was better then this replacement. I found Morse and some NOS Nicholson and couldn't be happier. I'm not one to write reviews but this blade isn't that great and felt compelled to share my experience due to the mostly positive reviews which persuaded me into buying again.

i have it set on my band saw, slowest speed with coolant, cutting 16awg tubes. i already see lots of wear on the teeth in one month. i probably cut around 100 tubes in it and its done.

An excellent blade for soft metals as specified in the title for the item. I've only cut aluminum so far but since that qualifies as "soft metal" it is my opinion that the blade does what it is intended for very well. Install was easy and unlike my previous blade it has no "jump" spot at the weld, in fact you can't even tell where the weld is located. I'm very happy with the blade and Amazon delivered fast with Prime!
