BOSCH BS5912-18M 59-1/2-Inch by 3/8-Inch by 18TPI Multi-construction Bandsaw Blade

I just opened the box (bought a few years ago) the weld looked suspect, but since its too late to return i decided to use the blade. It lasted about 3 min cutting aluminum, and the blade broke, right at the weld! I thought Bosch would be a quality blade….i thought wrong!

It cut straight and sharp. Started with a light tic that became louder and broke.

This was a total waste of money. I purchased this for a small bandsaw I purchased to cut simple mild steel about 1/8 thick. The blade just skipped around as if the steel was hardened, I can assure you it was not. Finally, the teeth were so badly rounded it wouldnt even cut wood. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! Do not buy this for anything over 1/32 thick. I would ask for my money back but the time and packaging and shipping costs way exceed the cost of this cheap blade.

Excellent blade for rip cuts.

I had a hard time finding a blade locally was very happy Amazon had one

My band saw is a Bosch and so I purchased this blade since its a direct replacement part, works just like the original.

so far so good

I bought this to cut 1/8 mild steel. I got about 3 in and then it quit.

This blade did not do what I was hoping, but it seems like a nice blade irregardless. It would not cut 5/64 (~2mm) o1 tool steel prior to hardening. It made a convincing dent in it, but either it or my cheap craftsman saw wasnt up to the task. I now assume Id want something with a much lower tooth count. e: I raised from 3 to 4 stars now that Ive used this on hardwood. Its easily a blade worth the money for hardwood, but Ive since also tried it on a 3/8ths galvanized steel rod with no luck beyond denting and warming it up.
