Irwin Blades 66807IBB103050 Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 66807IBB103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for contour cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial service work. The blade runs 10 feet long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 8 to 12 TPI. Tooth material is M42 high-speed steel, which maintains cutting performance on harder alloys and mixed-material workpieces. The positive rake angle and toothed cutting edge improve chip clearance and reduce heat buildup during extended cuts. This blade ships as a single welded loop ready for direct installation on compatible horizontal and vertical bandsaws.

This blade is intended for professional metalworking environments where variable pitch reduces harmonic vibration on structural sections, tubing, and solid bar stock. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel backing with M42 high-speed steel teeth, making it suitable for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typical users include machine shop technicians, fabricators, and industrial maintenance trades working with production-grade bandsaw equipment. The 10-foot blade length fits a common mid-size bandsaw frame and is supplied as a single unit per package.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard materials
• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varying cross-sections
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal and faster feed rates
• Toothed contour-cutting edge supports curved and straight cuts in a single blade
• Pre-welded loop construction eliminates field joining and ensures consistent tension distribution
• 1-inch blade width provides lateral stability for straight cuts and moderate radius work

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 10-foot blade loop with a 1-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, and confirm blade tension and wheel tracking alignment before resuming operation. Consult the equipment manufacturer's service manual for tension and guide-bearing adjustment specifications.
