Bosch CBS1418 Portable Bandsaw Blade 14-18 Tpi Bi-metal 3 Pack

Product Description

The BOSCH CBS1418 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade designed for cutting metal, conduit, pipe, and structural materials in the field. At 1/2 inch wide and 0.014 inches thick, this blade fits standard portable bandsaws used by electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors. The 14 to 18 TPI variable pitch reduces vibration and chatter during cuts, improving control on thin-wall and solid stock alike. Each package contains 3 blades, making it practical to keep spares on the truck or job site. The bi-metal construction pairs a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel backer, extending blade life under demanding cutting conditions.

This blade is suited for portable bandsaw work in residential and commercial trade applications. Common uses include cutting EMT and rigid conduit, copper and steel pipe, all-thread rod, unistrut, and similar materials encountered during mechanical and electrical rough-in work. The constant pitch straight tooth form delivers consistent, predictable cuts on a variety of metal stocks. It is well-matched to compact portable bandsaws commonly carried by field technicians across multiple trades.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for portable bandsaws accepting 1/2 inch wide bi-metal blades. Verify your saw's required blade length before ordering, as the input data does not specify blade length for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement on portable bandsaws should be performed with the tool unplugged or the battery pack removed. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during installation. Ensure blade tension and tracking are set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before making cuts. Inspect blade guides and blade wheels for wear whenever a blade is changed.
