Measuring 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1\/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a 0.0700-inch kerf width, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical band saws sized to accept that blade length. It operates at a variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch, part of the Contestor GT series, and features an M42 high-speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back for extended edge life under high-alloy cutting conditions. Installation is performed by metal fabricators and maintenance machinists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for cutting a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, nickel alloy, titanium, and aluminum. The variable pitch and Vari-Set tooth configuration reduce harmonics and vibration during the cut, making it effective for both solid bar stock and structural sections. The positive rake angle and ground tooth form improve chip evacuation and surface finish on difficult-to-machine materials. It is not designed for contour cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 2 to 3 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and noise during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle and ground tooth form for efficient chip removal on tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0700-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContestor GT series design rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloy, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction for consistent blade tension and tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for band saws configured to accept a 174-inch (14 feet 6 inches) blade length with a 1-1\/4-inch blade width.
