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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

so far so good

Great blade at a great price.

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

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

Description says for use on thin sheet metal. Don’t even try it. Lasted less than 30 seconds on .032 mild sheet.
