Review on High-Performance Bosch BS80 6W Bandsaw - 80 Inch 4 Inch Blades by Edward Perez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

was it new - Saw Blades

After using Sears 80 inch saw blades for 50 years, we were disappointed to see that Sears had gone quite broke. It's hard to find a good blade to replace a bandsaw. Bosch reputation, this Revain purchase would be a safe bet. Within 30 seconds of cutting the 1/2 inch thick black walnut it became apparent that this blade was USELESS. The teeth felt sharp in the hand, but they cut VERY slowly, made the cut much wider due to the large offset of the teeth, and you could hear the weld going through the wood. Where can you find the blades you are used to from a Craftsman band saw? Everything is too expensive on Ebay, otherwise you risk getting something used. It's sad to have this experience with a very bad blade when you can't find a good one.

Pros
  • Saw Blades, Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • Doubtful Purchase for the Elderly
