Review on Bosch BS6412 24M 2 Inch 24TPI Bandsaw by Davey Kamau

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great blade for steel and aluminum fabrication

I've been using these on my high frequency band saw for a while now. I see others complaining that the teeth are too thin or that the blade cuts unevenly, but I don't have any of these issues. I have hand cut 1/4" thick sheet steel and 3/4" diameter steel rod on my bench rig which I made with no problems, but I usually cut 12-16 gauge steel to make grommets for my bikes etc. to manufacture. I've also cut all types of aluminum, which is a joke on this blade compared to steel. The blade cuts perfectly, I can follow the marker lines exactly, if you can't, adjust your saw. In fact, with this blade I cut the steel into a strip so thin it couldn't be much thicker than a few sheets of printer paper. I've been using one of these blades for a few months before it dulls and I need to replace it and I've only ever had one click and it was my fault for over-tightening the tape. All in all I'm sure there are better/more expensive blades out there but this one does the job well.
