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

I bought the Imachinist S6412121014 blade in august of 2019. at the time the blade that originally came with my bandsaw was working fine. After two moves of my shop and two years eight months later I finally got tired of hearing my bandsaw bump and grind like a bad erotic dancer. I replaced the blade with the iMachinist and took a cut on some 5/8-inch steel round stock. It was a beautiful cut. I chose the 10/14tpi blade because most of my cutting is aluminum with some plastic, wood and steel thrown in. The blade was very surprising on the cleanliness of cut.

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.

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

Teeth durability. Teeth offset on one side dull then cuts very crooked.

Perfect fare for my dads saw

The one I received didn’t run well out of the package. The weld joint was not ground flat on the back of the blade and hit the shoulder of the wheel on the band saw.

Great buy for the money. Variable pitch blades work very well.

Liked it so well I purchased a second one as a back up.

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
