All Magnate™ bandsaw blades are welded and fabricated in the USA. The coils/material are USA brands but may not be made in the USA. All band saw blades’ pictures depict a general bandsaw blade and thus may look different from each particular item. Carbon tool steel bandsaw blades are designed to work with a woodcutting saw to cut all types of woods 800-3,500 fpm; especially ideal for soft woods, i.e. pine, polar, fir and spruce. If used with a good release agent, it can cut plastics at a range of 200-800 fpm, or non-ferrous metal ( i.e. aluminum, copper and brass ) at a range of 200-1,000 fpm. However, to cut ferrous metals or mild steel ( don't cut hard steel ), you must only use a metal-cutting saw at a range of 40-200 fpm. Having liquid coolant running along the back of the blade yields the best results is highly recommended. The following is a guideline for choosing an adequate tooth pattern to cut metal materials, Use * 24 raker to cut 1/16" to 1/4" thick material,
* 18 raker to cut 1/8" to 3/8" thick material,
* 14 raker to cut 3/16" to 7/16" thick material,
* 10 raker to cut 1/4" to 5/8" thick material,
* 6 Hook to cut 3/8" to 2" thick material,
* 4 Hook to cut 3/4" to 4-1/2" thick material,
* 3 Hook to cut 1" to 6" thick material,
* 2 Hook to cut 2" to 12" thick material. The following bandsaw models use 59-1/4 inch ( 4 ft. 11-1/4 inch, 4' 11-1/4" ) bandsaw blades. Ryobi BS903 (59-1/4" to 59-1/2” ); Black & Decker, 9411; Sears Craftsman; Skil 9", 3381-01; Tradesman 9";Pro-Tech 9"; Collins 9" ; Toolkraft 4500, 4502.
