Irwin Blades 1895841 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 1895841 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for contour cutting and general-purpose band saw work in metal fabrication and industrial maintenance shops. It measures 7 feet 9.5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, with a 0.025-inch blade thickness and a variable pitch of 8 to 12 teeth per inch. The tooth material is M42 high-speed steel with a positive rake angle, designed to handle a broad range of metal stock efficiently. A 0.5000-inch kerf width and toothed cutting edge provide clean, consistent cuts. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for contour cutting applications on metal workpieces in both shop and light industrial environments. The variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch pattern makes it adaptable across different material thicknesses and stock profiles, reducing vibration and harmonics during the cut. The bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth delivers durability on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is packaged as a single blade and is a direct fit for band saw machines accepting a 7 feet 9.5 inch, 1/2 inch wide blade.
