Magnate M143E1V2 Carbide Tipped Bandsaw Blade, 143" Long - 1" Width, 2-3 Variable Tooth

This carbide tipped bandsaw blade is designed with precision triple chip ground teeth for smooth cuts and an excellent finish. The new high performance steel back offers excellent fatigue life. A carbide tipped blade outlasts carbon steel and bi-metal blades when cutting abrasive non-ferrous materials, wood; especially tropical hardwoods i.e. ebony, koa or cocabolo. When using a metal cutting bandsaw, it is also ideal to cut ferrous metal materials at least 1 inch thick, i.e. alloy steels, tool steels, bearing steel, carbon steels, stainless steels, and mold steels. Magnate carbide tipped bandsaw blades application notes: 1) To cut up to 6" (taller if fed slow) wood or 1” – 4” steel : Use blades of 1/2" wide x 3 TPI, 3/4" wide x 3 TPI, or 1” wide x 3 TPI. 2) To cut up to 6" (taller if fed slow) wood or 3” – 11” steel : Use blades of 1" wide x 2-3 variable tooth or 1-1/4" wide x 2-3 variable tooth. 3) To cut up to 4" (taller if fed slow) wood or 1” – 6” steel : use blades of 1-1/4" wide x 3-4 variable tooth; 4) To cut wood up to 3" and taller : Use blades of 1" wide x 1.3 TPI.

The coils/material are USA brands but may not be made in the USA. All band saw blades’ pictures depict a general bandsaw blade and thus may look different from each particular item. Warning: For packaging purposes, this blade is folded into a coiled position which is similar to a spring and may pop open when being coiled or uncoiled. Wear heavy duty leather gloves and eye/body protection while using extreme care when coiling or uncoiling a blade. Failure to exercise the proper care could result in serious bodily injury. See your bandsaw owner's manual for further safety instructions.
