Description of Bosch BS62 18MD Metal Bandsaw Blade Enhanced for Efficient Cutting
18 TPI metal-cutting band saw blade. Designed for use in many standard stationary band saws. Optimized tooth geometry for applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Bi-Metal blade construction for long life performance. Precision sharpened teeth for clean, accurate cuts.
This Bosch 62" 3/8, 18 TPI bandsaw blade was cheaper than the other options. Ordered two and one had a cracked weld so will be failing soon. Should not have been tested, sent back with cracks, overall quality looks mediocre.
I put this on my Wen band saw to cut aluminum blanks. It worked great for my purposes and was surprisingly smooth for wood band saw work. The teeth are in good condition and for the price and the expense it saved me I will buy again.
This thin blade can be good or bad. Easier to go through cuts and cars, but easier to break. So far it's cutting like crazy and hasn't broken. It takes some respect to be thin. The 1/2" version can be a good choice for a straight cut and durability. Comes in a logically smaller box than you might expect. Which requires immediate cardiac arrest. Anyone who does it often enough to be good at it, not only case to find the weld and support it when unfolding.
