Band Saw Blade #4603175

a blade made from two dissimilar metals; steel spring backing with high-speed steel edge material welded to tips of the teeth. the high-speed steel often contains 8% cobalt for extreme wear characteristics.

advantages of a bi-metal (matrix) blade inclue fatigue resistance. resists back edge swaging. operates at high band tension for straighter cuts versus carbon steel blades. reduction in blade hardness occurs at about 1300 f

bimetal blades are metal cutting blades. they are used on band saws to cut carbon steel, tool steel, structural steel, stainless steel, pipes and tubes, die steel, angles and flat stock, and mixed metal applications. our clients who use these metal cutting bandsaw blades include steel service centers, small to large manufacturers, fabricators, maintenance shops, job shops, tool and die shops, and anyone interested in saw cutting a broad range of shapes, structures, and solids.

m42 grade refers to the grade of the hss tooth used in the bimetal configuration. m42 grade steeels are better suited for cutting iron and soft steels.

Carbon Flexback blades are a low cost alternative on easy to cut material. Carbon Flexback blades have an excellent fatigue factor to give long saw blade life on bandsaws running at high speed, cutting non-ferrous metal, and wood. Its flexible backer is also suitable for absorbing contour cutting stresses.

These bandsaw blades are made from a solid piece of carbon steel with a flexible back. Their teeth are heat treated to retain their sharp edge.
