waste of money! fits blades

This band was the worst. The moment I installed it on my bandsaw and started cutting, nothing happened. I checked that I installed it correctly and everything is fine. My blade has already failed and not a single cut has been made. ****DO NOT BUY THESE BLADES****

Pros
  • Makes clean and fast cuts in various ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Download it right! on saw blades, parts and accessories

Anyone who gave these blades a bad review put them backwards in the tool. I know this because despite being a home builder and drug addict for over 36 years, I made the same mistake. Once properly loaded, the tool and blade exceeded my expectations.

Pros
  • BI-Metal construction provides up to 3x longer life than carbon blades
Cons
  • Unsure

Do your teeth seem twisted?

I have a Makita BPB180 and the included blade has teeth for cutting clockwise when I look up. made for Makita and even came in a Makita box but the blade is with the teeth backwards. I'm not an expert and I don't understand all Makita band saws, but maybe I have a model to order? The tooth difference is 24 TPI compared to my 18 TPI. Just thought I was posting to help someone save time. Blade quality is good. Another thought: maybe someone bought this blade and swapped it out in the box? I'll…

Pros
  • Ideal for cutting a wide range of materials including rebar, pipe, thread and conduit.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
