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

Perfect fare for my dads saw

Ive had a small machine shop for 13 years that works primarily in aluminum and let me tell you, Ive tried pretty much every brand of bandsaw blade made, and this brand is the one Im using for the foreseeable future. Better price and better construction, on the small horizontal bandsaw, when they eventually break, its NEVER at the weld like others, and on the larger vertical bandsaw they never break, but run so long that they do eventually dull and I replace the blade. They run quiet, and the weld joint is perfect with no space between teeth like some.

This is an excellent metal cutting blade, works perfect in my Harbor Freight horizontal saw. The original blade the saw came with was a 14 TPI, not bad, but snapped. Replaced it with a US made 14 TPI which was total crap, dulled quickly and snapped. Ive used this bi-metallic blade for about two weeks now, and works perfect. Cuts quickly and smoothly, does not gum up and is a big improvement over the high-carbon blades. This is also pretty thin so it cuts quickly and passes easier in the metal. Excellent quality blade, very good steel, and comes nicely packaged with a plastic guard over the teeth so they dont chip. For the price, I dont think theres any other blade nearly as good.

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

I am very happy with my purchase well worth it

Product looks to be good quality

Not sure how well they work but look like any other blade as of now

Issues with initial blade purchase. Seller did a great job of responding to the issue. I am impressed by the service and attention.

Got a little bit of use on this blade now. So far so good. I cut aluminum mostly but has cut steels no problem, even few cuts of tool steel. This is by far the smoothest blade, the weld seam, that Ive had in a while. Its nearly invisible! I have 2 SuperCuts that failed at the weld with low miles on them, one which was welded crooked to begin with. I hope all of their blades are made this well because Ill be buying more. UPDATE 4/6/21 I just finally replaced this blade, with the same blade. This blade is just as smooth as the last one. The saw doesnt get used everyday but its seen it fair share of use for a home guy through quite a few projects. The blade finally started to crack, but not a the weld. It has lost a few teeth, due to cutting small rods or probably the stainless exhaust pipe, so that doesnt help overall life. I still say its better than any Super Cut that Ive had in the past and will continue buying these.

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.
