Imachinist S6412121014 Bi-Metal Band Saw Blade – 64-1/2 in x 1/2 in x 10/14TPI, M42 for Ferrous Metal

Overview

The Imachinist S6412121014 Bi-Metal Band Saw Blade is built for serious metalworking tasks where durability and consistency matter. It features a bi-metal construction with an M42 grade tooth set, a long 64-1/2 inch length, and a 1/2 inch width. At a slim 0.025 inch thickness, the blade offers a balance between rigidity and flexibility to handle ferrous metal cuts with steadiness across profiles and tubes.

Key benefits come from the combination of materials and geometry. The M42 bi-metal composition helps resist wear on tough metals, while the 10/14TPI variable teeth provide a practical balance between aggressive metal removal and a cleaner finish. This makes it suitable for longer runs or intricate cuts on solid bars and hollow tubes made from ferrous metals.

• Bi-metal construction using M42 steel for durability and extended blade life
• 64-1/2 inch length and 1/2 inch width to fit standard bandsaws
• 0.025 inch thickness for a strong yet flexible blade
• 10/14TPI with a variable teeth pattern for thick ferrous metal
• Designed for cutting solid bars and hollow tubes in ferrous metals
• Not recommended for aluminum or non-ferrous metals with this TPI

Real-world use cases

• Fabrication and structural work involving steel profiles and channels
