POWERTEC 13104 59-1/2 x 3/8 x 18 TPI Band Saw Blade, for Sears, B&D, Ryobi, Delta, and Skil 9 Bandsaw

Blades are a good value. They are carbon steel blades, and they are short (versus a 14 saw blade which uses a length of 93-1/2) so there are not as many teeth per blade, so each tooth cuts more than a longer blade will, so they cannot be expected to last as long as longer blades. They have decent welds, but they do not remove the weld slag the forms between the teeth, so it keeps the following tooth from doing what it is suppose to do (Years ago I welded custom band saw blades for an industrial tool distributor so one thing I know is band saw blades), but the tooth spacing is good, which shows that the blade tooth spacing is consistent at the weld. These blades will fit any 9 saw that uses a 59-1/2 blade no matter who makes the saw. Just a bit of useful information for those of you that are not aware.... Rule of thumb... the material should always have a minimum of 3 teeth in the material at any given time... so that tells you what amount of teeth the blade needs to cut through different thickness of wood (or metal, plastic, whatever) so a 6 tooth blade wold not work as well as 14 tooth in 1/4 wood. Another thing I have learned, just because Bosche, Ryobi, or other well known names put their name on a product, does not mean it is as good of quality as you might expect from the name. I have gotten better quality on no-name (meaning unknown named products) than I have on named products.

Makes my old Tradesman seem like a pro machine. Great for clean cuts through purpleheart, walnut and wormy maple. Cant believe the accuracy I can achieve with this blade. Ill definitely buy again.

i had actually ordered a 2 pack. only 1 arrived though. when i talked with amazon they made it right. i will say that the 1 that did arrive was good and sharp too.

This blade cuts well but the seam where the blade is spliced together is not done accurately. The blade makes a lot of noise and jumps as the splice hits the material being cut.

I would buy from you again!

Decent quality, sharp, and tracks well on my entry level Skil bandsaw. I will buy it again.

After some experimenting with others, had to go back to the original size.

I needed a new blade and one that was wider than my old one, so it stays in position while cutting. The guides on my saw require a wider blade. I chose the 18 TPI for smoother cross cuts. Yet it does well for other wood cutting, too.

This is a great blade. Excellent quality. So far I have cut though a variety of woods- 3/4 Ebony, 1 Purple Heart, 7/8 Black Palm, 3/4 Bocote - And this blade has cut through them all with extreme ease, like cutting through butter. I have also cut softer woods like walnut, maple, cedar, Monkey Pod, Mango, and it does an excellent job cutting through these as well. I definitely recommend this product based on my experience. Update: I initially installed this on 25-Feb, it is now 18-Jun and I am finding that it is time to change the dulling blade. So it lasted about 4 months. In that 4 months I used it for my sole band saw cutting and made a little more than 1,000 cuts. Most of these cuts were through hardwood at either 3/4 or 1 thick. I think it is still excellent, especially for the price. My previous blade was from SKIL and I was never able to determine how long it took to get dull as it would just flat out break on me (at least on 3 occasions that I remember). At least this one didnt break and lasted its entire life as useful. I could have continued with it for at least a couple more weeks if I needed to, but at the price, might as well not make it hard on me. I still recommend and did purchase another to replace my backup that I just installed.

It seems to be a bandsaw blade.
