Bosch BS6412 24M 2 Inch 24TPI Bandsaw Review

I was skeptical about buying a finer tooth blade for my Harbor Freight band saw (model 93762) (OEM 18 tooth blade didn't cut very fast or for long), but after the first cut I agreed This Bosch 24 tooth saw blade made me realize that these Bosch saw blades were the answer to the previously mediocre performance of this saw!

I'm not the type of person who has unrealistic expectations of finding a magic saw that will last ten years. I will not arbitrarily determine how long these blades will last. The type of metal you are cutting, the alloy of the metal, and your…
