Irwin Blades 87823IBB123810 Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 87823IBB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for professional cutting applications in metal fabrication, maintenance, and industrial service environments. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 6 to 10 teeth per inch (TPI). The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel backer with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering durability and heat resistance during demanding cuts. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working with portable or stationary bandsaws will find this blade suited to a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This blade is designed for contour and straight-feed bandsaw cutting in professional shop and field settings. The variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch reduces blade harmonics and vibration, making it effective across varying material thicknesses without changing blades. The straight tooth form and toothed cutting edge are optimized for clean, consistent cuts in metal stock. It is a common choice for pipefitters, millwrights, and metal fabricators who rely on stationary bandsaw equipment for repetitive structural or pipe cutting work.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life under heat and load
• Variable pitch pattern (6 to 10 TPI) reduces vibration and suits a range of material thicknesses
• 12 feet 6 inches welded loop length fits standard industrial bandsaw frames in that size class
• 3/4-inch blade width with 0.035-inch thickness provides lateral stability during straight cuts
• Straight tooth form with toothed cutting edge for consistent material removal
• UNSPSC Code 23242112 for procurement and cataloging compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines requiring a 12-foot 6-inch loop length and 3/4-inch blade width. Verify your saw's blade capacity, wheel diameter, and guide specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing or installing the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the uncoiled blade, as the welded loop is under tension once mounted. Confirm blade tracking, guide bearing clearance, and blade tension per the machine manufacturer's specifications before returning the saw to service.
