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!

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.

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

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

so far so good

Excellent blade for rip cuts.

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.
