Hertel 96152 Bi-metal Band Saw Blade 1 in 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The HERTEL 96152 is a bi-metal welded band saw blade designed for metal-cutting applications on horizontal and vertical band saw machines. The blade runs at 10 feet 8.5 inches in total length and 1 inch in width, with a variable-pitch tooth pattern spanning 6 to 10 teeth per inch. The tooth tips are M42 high speed steel, which provides heat and wear resistance during continuous cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Blade thickness is 0.035 inches. This blade is installed by machinists, toolroom technicians, and fabrication shop personnel performing production or maintenance cutting operations.

The HERTEL 96152 is suited for production metal-cutting environments where variable-pitch blades reduce harmonic vibration and improve cut quality across a range of cross-sections and material types. The straight tooth form handles solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing. The bi-metal construction keeps the blade body flexible while the M42 tooth tips maintain edge integrity under heat and load. This blade fits band saw machines that accept a 1-inch-wide blade with a 10 feet 8.5 inch loop length.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel tooth tips for extended edge life in metal cutting
• Bi-metal construction combines flexible alloy steel backing with hardened tooth material
• Variable pitch 6-10 TPI reduces vibration and chatter on varied cross-sections
• Straight tooth form suited for solid bar, structural shapes, and tubing
• Welded blade loop eliminates the need for field joining or on-site brazing
• Blade thickness of 0.035 inches compatible with standard 1-inch band saw wheel sets

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement band saw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saw machines that accept a 1-inch-wide blade with a loop length of 10 feet 8.5 inches.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by qualified shop personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel tracking, blade tension, and guide bearing clearances before returning the saw to service. Blade tooth direction must be confirmed against wheel rotation before powering on. Do not exceed the band saw manufacturer's specified blade tension for 1-inch-wide blades.
