Irwin Blades 1895955 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 1895955 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for contour cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial trades. The blade runs 10 feet in length and 1/4 inch wide, with a 0.025-inch body thickness and a variable pitch of 10 to 14 TPI. Teeth are ground from M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle, providing aggressive chip removal and extended tooth life on a range of metal stock. A toothed cutting edge and 0.250-inch kerf width deliver consistent, clean cuts. This blade is a direct fit for standard 10-foot bandsaw wheel configurations used in shop and maintenance environments.

This blade is suited for metal-cutting bandsaw applications where variable pitch reduces vibration and harmonic noise across varying material thicknesses. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel backer with M42 HSS teeth, making it appropriate for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, structural shapes, and tubing. Contour cutting capability allows the blade to follow curved or irregular cut paths. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and metalworking shops are the primary installers and end users of this blade type.

Key Features

• 10-foot welded length fits standard 10-foot bandsaw wheel configurations
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts
• M42 high speed steel teeth offer high heat and wear resistance
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip evacuation
• Bi-metal construction provides flexible backing with hard cutting teeth
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular cut profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement bandsaw blade for 10-foot wheel-to-wheel metal-cutting bandsaws. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearance for 1/4-inch blade width before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the saw fully de-energized and the power source locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension should be set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications for 1/4-inch blade width. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires before installing a new blade. Never run a blade that shows cracks at the weld joint or along the gullets.
