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

Great blade at a great price.

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.

so far so good

Excellent blade for rip cuts.

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.

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

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

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.

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

The blade was a perfect fit, and is 3x the blade depth dimension making much better for Straight Cuts without wondering on the material. Much Better than OEM Blades for this B&D Band Saw
