M71 Bi-metal band saw blade

That is exactly how I'm using them Javan, profiling blades with hand pressure on a HF 4 X 6.

Yeah Darrin, I don't really think these blades will shine in that application. They're not really designed for contouring at all, and I've noticed they're finicky about engagement with cutting materials. Doubt you'll find anything better than the Diemasters for that application. Which are *specifically* designed for contouring (i.e. cutting curves) in hand feed applications.
