Magnate M154.5C1H6 Carbon Steel Bandsaw Blade, 154-1/2" Long - 1" Width, 6 Hook Tooth

12' 10-1/2" (12 feet 10-1/2 inch) Long; 0.035" Thickness Carbon tool steel bandsaw blades are designed to work with a woodcutting saw to cut all types of woods 800-3,500 fpm; especially ideal for soft woods, i.e. pine, polar, fir and spruce. If used with a good release agent, it can cut plastics at a range of 200-800 fpm, or non-ferrous metal (i.e. aluminum, copper and brass) at a range of 200-1,000 fpm. However, to cut ferrous metals or mild steel (don't cut hard steel), you must only use a metal-cutting saw at a range of 40-200 fpm. Having liquid coolant running along the back of the blade yields the best results is highly recommended. The following is a guideline for choosing an adequate tooth pattern to cut metal materials, Use * 24 raker to cut 1/16" to 1/4" thick material, * 18 raker to cut 1/8" to 3/8" thick material, * 14 raker to cut 3/16" to 7/16" thick material, * 10 raker to cut 1/4" to 5/8" thick material, * 6 Hook to cut 3/8" to 2" thick material, * 4 Hook to cut 3/4" to 4-1/2" thick material, * 3 Hook to cut 1" to 6" thick material, * 2 Hook to cut 2" to 12" thick material. All Magnate bandsaw blades are welded and fabricated in the USA. While the coils and materials used are from U.S. brands, they may be sourced overseas.
