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

I had been looking for a metal cutting blade for my Delta bench-top band saw. Very happy with this find, Used it to cut aluminum stock for a project and it worked beautifully. 1/8 x 3 angle aluminum and 3/16 aluminum plate. No issues what so ever.

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.

Good blade, finally died but not before cutting through a mountain of copper and brass, cut very fast and clean. bought the same one as a replacement

Great blade at a great price.

All is all right

So disappointed... finally had some free time to install this blade and it acts like it’s allergic to metal. The second it touches it won’t bite at all. I’m assuming it’s just defective as I’ve bought this same brand blade before and it worked flawlessly. Of course I’m a few days over the return window, or else I’d be sending it back! Oh well.

love how easy it is to install

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!

I remember seeing three blades come with this purchase and only got one.

I tried this blade on a new band saw and noticed considerable burn marks, teeth breaking off after only 2 cuts and overall a bad cutting experience. I know that it isnt the saw as I changed the blade to a cheap one and it cut great with no burn marks and all the teeth still remain. I am disappointed and wont be buying this blade anytime soon.
