Irwin Blades 1807170 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 1807170 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and field environments. The blade measures 11 feet 3 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. It runs a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI with a raker tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and chip load during cuts through varying material thicknesses. The cutting teeth are high speed steel (M42 grade), brazed to a flexible alloy backing, delivering durability through interrupted cuts and hard-to-machine alloys. Licensed technicians and fabricators operating horizontal and vertical bandsaws will find this a direct production-use blade.

This blade is suited for cutting structural steel, tubing, pipe, bar stock, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance environments. The variable pitch tooth pattern makes it effective across a range of material cross-sections without requiring a blade change. It ships as a single welded loop, ready to mount without field welding. Typical users include machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance mechanics who run industrial bandsaw equipment regularly.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 grade high speed steel teeth for extended blade life in hard materials
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across multiple material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent feed rate
• Pre-welded loop at 11 feet 3 inches - no field welding required
• 0.035-inch blade thickness balances flexibility and rigidity for standard bandsaw wheel configurations
• 1-inch blade width supports straight cuts through structural sections and solid bar stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production consumable for industrial bandsaws accepting an 11 feet 3 inch blade loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with machine guarding requirements and blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lockout/tagout the saw before opening the blade covers or handling the blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension rating of the saw match the blade dimensions before mounting. Do not force the blade onto wheels or run a blade that shows cracks at the weld joint.
