Irwin Blades 87676IBB103050 Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 87676IBB103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial service environments. The blade measures 10 feet in length and 1 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.035 inches. The cutting edge features high speed steel M42-grade teeth in a straight tooth form with a variable pitch pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. This combination of bi-metal construction and variable pitch is designed to reduce vibration and extend blade life across a range of material thicknesses. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this blade.

This bandsaw blade is suited for use in horizontal and vertical band saws found in metal fabrication shops, mechanical contracting, and industrial maintenance settings. The variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch pattern makes it effective when cutting structural metals, tubing, and bar stock of varying cross-sections. It is sold as a single welded loop ready for direct installation onto compatible bandsaw machines. The blade is not intended for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life
• Variable pitch pattern (10 to 14 TPI) reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts
• Straight tooth form provides consistent chip clearance across material types
• Pre-welded loop design allows direct drop-in installation without field welding
• 0.035-inch blade thickness suits standard bandsaw wheel and guide configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 10-foot blade loop that is 1 inch wide with 0.035-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw machinery. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify that blade tension, tracking, and guide settings conform to the machine manufacturer specifications and applicable OSHA or ANSI machine guarding requirements. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as coiled or looped blades can spring unexpectedly.
