Import 9960001812 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The IMPORT 9960001812 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. At 75 inches in length and 3/4 inch wide, this blade mounts on bandsaws sized to accept that wheel-to-wheel span. The 0.035-inch blade thickness and variable 8-12 TPI tooth pitch allow it to handle a range of material thicknesses in a single pass, reducing the need to swap blades when cutting stock of mixed cross-sections. High speed steel teeth are welded to a flexible bi-metal backer for durability under continuous cutting loads. Licensed trades and fabrication shops with metal-cutting bandsaws will find this blade a straightforward drop-in consumable.

This blade is suited for use on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws in light manufacturing, maintenance shops, and fabrication facilities. The variable pitch tooth pattern reduces vibration and chatter when transitioning between thin-wall and solid stock. It is appropriate for cutting structural steel, tubing, angle iron, and similar ferrous materials. The 8-12 TPI range makes it a versatile general-purpose blade rather than one optimized for a single material thickness.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction combines a flexible alloy steel backer with high speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 8-12 TPI pattern reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• 75-inch welded loop eliminates the risk of a brazed joint separating under load
• 0.035-inch blade thickness suits standard bandsaw wheel widths for this blade size
• Toothed cutting edge style designed for metal stock cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 75-inch loop length and 3/4-inch blade width. Verify wheel-to-wheel center distance and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified operator following the saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. After installation, set blade tension and blade guide clearances per the saw manufacturer's specifications before making a cut.
