Review on 72-1/2" Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blades - Ideal For Cutting Soft Ferrous Metal (24TPI), 1/2" Width, 0.025" Thickness - Imachinist S72121224 by Mike Quade

The blade looks great.

So far all I know is that it fits. It’s not staying aligned and just coming off the front instantly. The blade I just took off had no trouble tracking and staying in place. Well, it’s been a few days since I wrote the first part of this review, so here’s a follow up. I doubt it was the blade, at all. The blade I took off was 1/4” wide, and as the saw was inherited from my dad, I think it had that size on it for so long the nylon insert in the upper pulley had a set to it and it couldn’t work with a 1/2” blade. I put a new 1/4” blade on and it runs perfectly.

Pros
  • Fit as expected. High quality steel about 1/2" thick. It cut through my 1/2" aluminum with ease.
Cons
  • Higher Cost Than Competitors
