The blade measures 64.5 inches in overall length and 0.5 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. A variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 14 to 18 TPI reduces vibration and chatter during cuts, extending blade life and improving cut quality. The cutting teeth are constructed from M42 high-speed steel, a cobalt-alloyed grade that maintains edge hardness under heat. This blade is a direct-fit welded unit suited for installation on portable and benchtop bandsaws by metalworking trades and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is intended for use on bandsaws that accept a 64.5-inch loop in 0.5-inch width. The variable 14 to 18 TPI tooth configuration makes it suitable for cutting a range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock, including tubing, structural shapes, and solid bar. Its straight tooth form and toothed cutting edge are appropriate for general shop use in industrial, commercial, and field maintenance settings. Licensed tradespeople and experienced fabricators working with bandsaws in metal service or HVAC fabrication applications will find this a standard replacement or spare blade option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life under heat and load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 14 to 18 TPI reduces vibration and chatter during cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e64.5-inch welded loop fits standard portable and benchtop bandsaw models accepting this blade length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch blade width provides stability for straight and moderate-radius cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.025-inch blade thickness minimizes kerf loss and reduces saw motor load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form suited for general-purpose metal cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 64.5-inch blade length, 0.5-inch width, and 0.025-inch thickness.

Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Confirm blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearance per the saw manufacturer's specifications after installation. Blade guards must be reinstalled and verified in place before returning the saw to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 64.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 to 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IRWIN BLADES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 88509IBB51640\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918234616114,"sku":"88509IBB51640","price":53.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/22cb2b159506e28f264cc4ca5430bbda.jpg?v=1791268567","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-blades-88509ibb51640-bandsaw-blade-14-18-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
