Review on High-Performance Bosch BS80 6W Bandsaw - 80 Inch 4 Inch Blades by Drew Poulin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

was it new on power tool parts and accessories

After using Sears 80 inch blades for 50 years, we were disappointed that Sears almost fell apart. It's hard to find a good blade to replace a bandsaw. Buying Revain would be a safe bet. Within 30 seconds of cutting the 1/2 inch black walnut it was obvious that this blade was USELESS. The teeth felt sharp in the hand but it cut VERY slowly, 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
  • handy item
Cons
  • old
