Irwin Blades 87994IBB51525 Bandsaw Blade 5 Ft 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 87994IBB51525 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for contour and general cutting applications on bandsaw machines. Constructed with a bi-metal body and M42 high speed steel teeth, this blade delivers durability and cutting performance across a range of materials. At 5 feet in length and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, it fits standard benchtop and floor-standing bandsaws that accept blades in this size class. The variable pitch tooth pattern, ranging from 10 to 14 TPI, reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, making it suitable for varying stock thicknesses. Licensed tradespeople and skilled shop technicians are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for use in fabrication shops, mechanical service bays, and trade environments where a bandsaw is used to cut metal stock, tubing, or structural sections. The variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch is well-matched to cutting thin-wall and medium-wall materials where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or load up. The straight tooth form and toothed cutting edge style make this a workhorse choice for repetitive production cuts as well as one-off service cuts in the field or shop setting.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• 5-foot welded loop length fits standard bandsaw machines in this size class
• 0.5-inch blade width with 0.025-inch thickness for controlled, accurate cuts
• Straight tooth form with toothed cutting edge for consistent chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaw machines that accept a 5-foot, 0.5-inch-wide welded loop blade.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw machinery. Always disconnect power to the saw before opening the blade guards or handling the blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before test-running. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or loop blades, as the teeth present a laceration hazard.
