Irwin Blades 87835IBB134015 Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 87835IBB134015 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial service environments. The blade measures 13 feet 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.035 inches. It runs a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI, which helps reduce vibration and harmonics during the cut while improving chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, offering elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard bi-metal constructions. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians installing replacement bandsaw blades will find this a direct-fit consumable for compatible horizontal and vertical bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for cutting structural steel, tube, bar stock, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals in production or maintenance settings. The variable pitch tooth pattern makes it a practical choice when operators are cutting a variety of cross-sections without changing blades. The positive rake angle on the teeth promotes aggressive, consistent cutting with reduced feed force. It is packaged as a single blade and is appropriate for professional shop use where blade longevity and cut quality are priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life in metal-cutting applications
• Variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and suits a range of material cross-sections
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes efficient chip removal and consistent feed
• 13 feet 2 inches welded loop length fits a range of horizontal and vertical bandsaws in that size class
• 0.035-inch blade thickness provides the rigidity needed for straight cuts in structural material
• Toothed edge cutting style with no contour-cutting geometry, optimized for straight production cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 13-foot 2-inch by 1-inch blade in the 3 to 4 TPI range. Confirm wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and throat depth on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's service guidelines. Power down and lockout the bandsaw at the main disconnect before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as edges are sharp before and after use. Verify blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's specifications before returning the unit to service.
