Irwin Blades 88598IBB92935 Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The IRWIN BLADES 88598IBB92935 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for professional cutting applications in metal fabrication, maintenance, and industrial service environments. Measuring 9 feet 7.5 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits standard vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines commonly found in trade shops. The variable-pitch tooth design runs at 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and chatter during cuts through varying material cross-sections. The M42 high-speed steel tooth construction delivers heat and wear resistance suited to demanding continuous-use cutting cycles.

This blade is intended for use in professional shop environments where consistent ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting is required. The variable pitch pattern makes it well suited for cutting structural shapes, tubing, solid bar stock, and bundle cutting applications where workpiece cross-section changes across the cut. The straight tooth form and toothed cutting edge provide controlled chip clearance and reduce binding. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and users of this blade type.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable pitch at 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varying cross-sections
• 9 feet 7.5 inches welded loop length fits common mid-size bandsaw frames
• 1-inch blade width with 0.035-inch thickness provides lateral stability during contour and straight cuts
• Straight tooth form promotes consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for mid-size vertical and horizontal bandsaws that accept a 9-foot 7.5-inch blade loop with a 1-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trained shop technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension and tracking adjustments must be set according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications before powering the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade.
