Hertel 96151 Bi-metal Band Saw Blade 10 Ft 1 in 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The HERTEL 96151 is a welded bi-metal band saw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial environments. The blade runs 10 feet in length and 1 inch in width, with a variable-pitch tooth pattern set at 10-14 teeth per inch. The cutting teeth are ground from M42 high-speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade known for its toughness and heat resistance when cutting hard or abrasive workpieces. A straight tooth form and toothed cutting edge style make this blade well-suited for general-purpose contour and straight cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Blade thickness is 0.035 inches. This blade is sold as a single unit.

This blade is intended for use on horizontal and vertical band saw machines found in machine shops, maintenance facilities, fabrication shops, and industrial production environments. The 10-14 TPI variable-pitch configuration reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it effective on a range of solid stock and structural shapes. It is a replacement-style blade appropriate for any band saw accepting a 10-foot by 1-inch blade with standard kerf requirements. Installation is performed by machinists and tool-room technicians maintaining band saw equipment.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended tool life on hard and abrasive materials
• Bi-metal construction combines a flexible alloy steel back with hardened tooth tips
• Variable-pitch 10-14 TPI pattern reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• Straight tooth form for consistent chip clearance on general-purpose cuts
• 0.035-inch blade thickness for use in standard 10-foot band saw guides
• Welded blade loop supplied ready to install — no field brazing required

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement band saw blade for machines that accept a 10-foot length, 1-inch width, 0.035-inch thickness blade with a standard straight-tooth, variable-pitch configuration.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Before installing, power down the machine and lock out the drive motor per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and guide bearing settings match the manufacturer specifications for the host machine after seating the new blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop.
