Magnate M155C34R8 Carbon Steel Bandsaw Blade, 155" Long - 3/4" Width; 8 Raker Tooth; 0.032" Thickness; 0.057" Kerf

The picture depicted represents one blade. Warning : For packaging purposes, this blade is coiled and in the coiled position which is similar to a spring. Wear leather gloves and eye protection, use extreme care when uncoiling the blade. Failure to exercise the proper care could result in serious bodily injury. See your bandsaw owner's manual for further safety instructions. NOTE: The owner's manual of some woodcutting bandsaw may stipulate that it can cut metal, but woodcutting bandsaws can only cut non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, brass, copper, etc. Cutting steel could damage your saw, due to the fact that blade speed on most woodcutting bandsaws (average 800 to 3500 fpm) is not slow enough (40 to 200 fpm) for cutting ferrous metals (i.e. steel). Trying to cut steel at woodcutting speeds will ruin the blade due to extreme heat produced. Carbon tool steel bandsaw blades are made from high end carbon steel. It can cut all types of woods and is especially ideal for soft woods i.e. pine, polar, fir and spruce. It is also used for cutting plastics, aluminum, metals, and mild steel. Cutting mild steel at speeds under 200 fpm (feet per minute) with liquid coolant running along the back of the blade yields the best results. 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, There may be a number of other bandsaws or models that use the same blade lengths as the ones listed: 155 inch ( 12 ft. 11 inch, 12' 11" ) bandsaw blades suit the following models: LOBO BS-0202; JET VBS-2012 (150-1/2" to 156-1/2�).
