Review on πŸ”Œ Bosch BS5678 6W General Purpose Stationary: Versatile and Reliable Power for All Your Stationary Needs by Chuck Chen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great blade, but NOT for smooth, delicate cuts in thin material.

I ordered this blade for my 10" Craftsman band saw and it fits perfectly. good tracking. However, due to the large lateral tooth pitch (1/8 inch), this saw blade is NOT suitable when making smooth, detailed cuts on thin, delicate material. To do this you will need a 15 TPI blade or similar with a finer tooth pattern. I didn't know when I ordered that wide cutting blade from him and will probably get a 15 TPI blade for my regular cutting jobs (my saw came with it). A good blade for what it's designed for (ripping and rough slicing) but NOT for fine scrolling or trimming, just keep that in mind and you'll be happy with this blade. This cuts quickly, but is too rough and downright dangerous for detailed work.

Pros
  • Premium materials resist heat build-up for long life
Cons
  • No instructions
