Imachinist S6412121014 Bi-Metal Band Saw Blades 64-1/2 X 1/2 X 10/14TPI Variable Teeth M42 for Metal

Cutting mild steel and teeth were already missing on the second cut. REVISED REVIEW BELOW: After I left a negative review (and rightfully so) I was contacted by the company and offered an upgraded replacement. I was sent a blade for stainless and it is performing much better. I would give this blade a 5-star review by itself. I adjusted my initial review from a 1 star to a 3 star to average out the two blades. There is no doubt the first blade deserved the 1 star review but I appreciate the company making things right. The second blade is much better so I would advise anyone to start with the blade made for cutting stainless. Im sure it costs a little more but it is performing better and it appears it will have a much longer lifespan.

Product looks to be good quality

I am very happy with my purchase well worth it

Exact fit. Cuts straight. Good value.

Cut 4130 CM Steel tubing like butter. Even cut a few pieces of 416L nicely before i dropped the saw head and bent the blade through the bearings. Good news is that it bent and did not break. packaging was awesome, teeth were protected. Only docked one star because the cut rate is a little slow on mild steel by comparison to more costly name brands.

I am very happy with my purchase well worth it

Installed this blade on a recently purchased Harbor Freight Metal Band Saw without any problems. I am cutting thin wall mild steel tubing (1/2 to 1” by 1/16” wall) at a slow speed and very little downward force. After installing the blade, I made sure it was aligned vertically and horizontally, so it would cut square. Since installing the blade I have probably made 50 cuts without any problems. The only change I might make is to use a 14/18 tooth blade, because I generally only cut thin wall steel. I would recommend this blade! BTW, the stand is made of 1” sq x 1/16” wall mild steel tubing with wheels, cut with this saw before installing the new blade.

Perfect fare for my dads saw

Cuts great. Held up a lot longer then the harbor freight blades.

after 2 years and a few hundred cuts, it still cutting very well, images speak for themselves, I do work on a lot of projects at home, bbqs, trailers, mechanical tools, ornamental, etc, I have this blade on a HFtools 4x6 saw, I dont do industrial work, but I do a lot of repetitive cuts with this tool. the imachinist blade has been a great upgrade to the HF saw, I have been able to cut grade 8 bolts, 1x4inch steel, tool steel, stainless, square tube, I highly recomend this blade
