Bosch BS5618-6W Band Saw Blade 56-1/8x1/4 6 Tpi Wood

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP BS5618-6W is a band saw blade engineered for general-purpose wood cutting applications. Measuring 56-1/8 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width, it runs at 6 teeth per inch (TPI), a pitch well suited to smooth, controlled cuts through dimensional lumber and common wood stock. The blade is manufactured from premium-grade steel that is formulated to resist heat buildup during extended cutting sessions, helping maintain blade integrity and edge life. Optimized tooth geometry promotes consistent chip clearance and reduces deviation during straight and contour cuts. This blade is a practical choice for service technicians and woodworking professionals who need reliable consumable stock on hand.

The BS5618-6W is designed for general-purpose wood cutting in both residential and light commercial settings. Its 6 TPI configuration handles a broad range of wood thicknesses and grain orientations, making it a go-to blade for rough cuts, ripping, and general stock reduction. The blade is sold in a package quantity of 20 units, making it appropriate for shops, service fleets, or supply stocking where consistent blade replacement is part of the workflow. It is compatible with most common band saw configurations.
