Review on Bosch BS5912 18M 2 Inch Multi Construction Bandsaw: The Ultimate Cutting Tool for Diverse Materials by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for aluminum(i)um bearings.

Purchased for thinner cuts in aluminum alloys using a WEN3656 saw. WEN comes with a very rough blade (about two inches per tooth :-) which, while capable of cutting my stock, leaves a very rough edge. So I got a POWERTEC 13154 24 dpi blade. This one was still walking around even after being adjusted and worst of all it was aluminum sealed. I can pick and pull out bonded teeth, but not for long. Such a pain! I finally got this Bosch BS5912 18tpi. It slices through the same aluminum alloy as butter with a hot knife while leaving teeth clean. Even better - the cuts are nice and smooth. Great blade!
