Imachinist S80121418 80" x 1/2" x 14/18TPI Variable Teeth Bi-Metal Band Saw Blades for Soft Ferrous Metal

I use this band saw blade to cut ferrous steel parts. It works very well and deliverywas on time as promised.

I purchased a blade 5 months ago (thought I would need it for a job) but didn't end up using it until recently. The original blade didn't cut straight and I posted a review. Shortly after, I was contacted by Frank (He reached out to me after my review. I never reached out to him.) asking to replace the blade and also asked for my application to ensure I had the right blade for my use. A replacement was sent out quickly and I had it in had in less than a week. The new blade cuts true and I am very happy with it.I want to take a moment to thank Frank and his team at Imachinist. I let the blade sit on my shelf for 5 months, well past the warrantee period and it was completely my fault to not test the blade in time. Not only did Frank replace the blade, he went the extra step by personally ensuring the type of blade would meet my needs. This is the type of customer service you always hope for. Frank, thanks much and you will be my first stop for band saw blades and anything else you might sell.MichaelOriginal review:The blade drifts right and won't cut straight.

This worked great on my single speed craftsman for 7075 aluminum. If you don't have a variable speed bandsaw, I would not recommend this for steel. Otherwise, this is great for aluminum/copper/bronze/tin/brass.

Blade performs as expected as long as you buy the correct blade for your application, I ordered the incorrect blade for my needs and originally gave it a bad review, I RETRACT that review as the company had sent out the blade I SHOULD have bought in the first place, I can admit when I’m wrong, and when it comes to the blade I bought, it was MY FAULT the blade failed, not the blade itself. It’s like ordering someone to cut balsa wood and use it for case hardened steel….lol… I want to thank you for reaching out to me and school me n how wrong I was…. I WILL by these blades again customer service is second to none, they reached out to me after I left a bad review, they sent out the correct blade without hesitation and I didn’t even ask for it, I applaud them for this AWSOME service….. thanks so much.. Michael…

This blade is SHARP! And it has stayed that way cutting aluminum. It also does not clog, which is impressive for how fast it cuts. Better than any other I've tried- which admittedly is only like 2 others. This blade had made the band saw my first choice when i have a small cut or notch rather than going to a shear. The only change i wish i had made was to order a narrower one. This 1/2" blade can't cut around tight radius without a bit of notching out. But That is not the fault of the blade- the 1/2 width is great for holding a straight line.

I have used many Bandsaw Blades in the last 3 years and THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST YET. CUTS SMOOTH - NO BINDING UP ON TURNS. CUTS LIKE BUTTER.... AAA++++BUY 2 FOR STOCK NOW

Nice blades. I set mine way too fast and tried a couple cuts before realizing my mistake. So I slowed down my blade speed and it cuts very well. Even after the abuse I put it through. Quality product, happy with the purchase.

I ordered the metal cutting bandsaw blade to cut some angle iron. I checked the angle iron before I tried cutting it with a file to make sure it was soft metal. A file cut it easily. When I tried cutting the first piece, it barely made a cut and wouldn't cut any further. No idea what this blade is made of but it wouldn't cut non ferrous metal as advertised. However, the company did all they could to assist with my issues with the blade to include offering troubleshooting advise and sending me a hardened blade to replace the one I bought. They were great to deal with. It didn't fix my issues but with their willingness to assist, I would buy from again.
