Bandsaw blade

[Sharpe5097]

I can't find a 64 1/2 inch bandsaw blade that will cut out my pofiles for nothing. I am using 1/2 inch 18tpi and they suck. What exact blade should i be using and where to buy it.

I bought mine on amazon.
Lennox diemaster 2
Bi-metal

What kind and thickness steel are you cutting with a bimetal blade? I've never used a bimetal blade that could go 1/4" into a 1/8" thick piece of 1095 without the teeth tearing out. I tend to cheap out on blades, sandpaper, the disposable stuff, though.

A hair over 1/4” is the thickest I’ve tried to cut. It’s not the fastest process, but it works well. It goes through 1/8” quick enough.
Just take the time to break the blade in right.
For sandpaper I love Rhynowet Refline and it’s pretty cheap when bought in bulk.
I cheap out on alot of stuff too, but some things are worth the money.

lennox diemaster II is what we used at the office on the 40" bandsaw. will cut almost anything, just adjust your speed and feed rate.

 

[Josh Rider]

Lol, this is how it was packaged. 2 boxes and that brown paper.

 

[scott.livesey]

the ones I am used to were 1" wide and about 110" long. just make sure the teeth are pointed in right direction.

Show me a 64 1/2 inch metal cutting bandsaw blade

yeah the teeth go toward the front i found about 400 on ebay. scroll down, they are listed by highest first. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=64"+bandsaw&_sop=16 a 14 tpi will cut a bit faster, but if you cut 1/8" stock you might chip some teeth out. ( i have done it lol) from what i have read there should be 3 teeth minimum touching the material.

For my use, a 24 TPI blade works best. I use Starrett bimetal blades, but Lenox blades are very good.

I just ordered 2 blades for my big saw. Thy are 6-10 teeth per inch bi-metal Lenox blades that are 130" long.

KBC tools is where I get all of mine, starrett pro die blades. I have a 14" delta vertical. I cut 2.5" thick steel on it yesterday with no problem, blade is couple months old.
