Morse 001182 Portable Bandsaw Blade 14-18 Tpi","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.K. MORSE 001182 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade engineered for cutting metal in the field or shop. Measuring 44.875 inches long and 0.5 inches wide at 0.02 inches thick, it fits most standard portable bandsaws. The blade uses a variable-pitch pattern ranging from 14 to 18 teeth per inch (TPI), which reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut. High speed steel teeth are set in a wavy configuration with a V-tooth form and bonded to a flexible back for resistance to blade breakage during curved or constrained cuts. Licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians who do fieldwork with a portable bandsaw will recognize this as a production-grade blade built for repetitive cutting tasks. Each package contains 3 blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, and aluminum stock. It is intended for use with portable bandsaws that accept blades measuring 44.875 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide. The variable-pitch TPI range makes it effective across a range of material thicknesses and profiles, including pipe, tubing, flat bar, and angle stock commonly encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work. It is not designed for contour cutting applications. The flexible back allows the blade to track consistently on portable bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking under normal operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction bonds high speed steel teeth to a flexible alloy back for extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 14-18 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWavy tooth set with V-tooth form suited for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back resists fatigue cracking during portable bandsaw operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToothed cutting edge, non-contour style, optimized for straight cuts in metal stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 3-blade package for job-site stocking efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement blade for portable bandsaws that accept blades 44.875 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.02 inch blade thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with portable bandsaw blade changes. Disconnect or power off the tool completely before replacing the blade. Verify blade tracking and tension per the tool manufacturer guidelines before making the first cut. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are recommended when handling and installing bandsaw blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44.875 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: 0.02 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 to 18 variable pitch\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\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: V-Tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.54 pounds\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: M.K.
