Review on Imachinist 0 025 Bi Metal Cutting Blades by William Bell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good blade for the price

This is a decent blade. The price was right and while it's not premium stuff, it seems like pretty good stuff. The length has been slightly changed, but is still within the adjustment range. Just make sure you draw correctly. I don't have a tensioner, so I set the tension by eye. Lift the guides about 4 to 6 inches off the table and press the disk. The blade should only deflect about 1/4 inch. I've also used the "guitar" method and plucked it until it made a good tone. Do not use more tension than the workpiece requires for a straight cut. Otherwise, premature bearing wear or blade breakage may occur.

Pros
  • Ideal for cutting soft iron materials only
Cons
  • So far so good
