Review on πŸ”ͺ Olson BM82264BL - BI-Metal Blade, 0.25" Thickness, 2" Diameter by Ken Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally found the right saw blade

I'm pretty inexperienced with metal band saws. I have one for cutting 1/8"-1/4" high carbon 1095 steel for knife making. My WEN horizontal/vertical saw came with a 14 tooth blade that could not cut my 1/8 inch diameter work pieces. So I got a 24 tooth blade and it worked, but I had to put a lot of effort into the metal to get it to cut. ... The blade didn't last long. I've only cut a few inches with this Olson bi-metal blade, but it cuts MUCH easier than anything I've tried before. Let's see how long it lasts. So far, I am very satisfied.

Pros
  • Saw blade
Cons
  • Expensive
