M.k. Morse 163318100C-MSC Band Saw Blade Coil 18 Tpi

Product Description

The M.K. MORSE 163318100C-MSC is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous-length blade fabrication and resawing applications. Supplied in a 100-foot coil, this blade measures 3/8 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick, with a constant-pitch 18-teeth-per-inch (TPI) configuration and a raker tooth set for consistent chip clearance. The flexible back construction allows the blade to coil tightly and feed through standard band saw wheels without metal fatigue. Metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments use coil stock to cut custom blade lengths for specific machine requirements.

This coil stock is suited for cutting operations that require a narrow blade profile for contour work or straight cuts in metal stock. The 18 TPI constant pitch is appropriate for cutting thin-walled tubing, small-diameter solid bar, and sheet metal where a fine, consistent cut is needed. The raker set alternates tooth geometry to balance cut aggression with surface finish. Technicians and machinists who maintain their own band saw blades will cut, weld, and dress lengths directly from this coil to fit their equipment.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for general-purpose metalcutting durability
• 18 TPI constant pitch for smooth, consistent cuts in thin material
• Raker tooth set for balanced chip clearance and cut quality
• Flexible back resists fatigue and tolerates tight coil storage
• 3/8-inch blade width suits narrow-kerf and light contour cutting
• 100-foot coil provides enough stock to produce multiple custom-length blades

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coil stock for band saws that accept 3/8-inch wide blades. Blade lengths are cut and welded to fit individual machines. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension specifications on the host saw before fabricating a blade from this coil.

Installation Notes

Blade fabrication from coil stock should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician using a blade welder and grinder rated for carbon steel band saw stock. Disengage power and relieve all blade tension on the band saw before removing an old blade or installing a new one. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before running a new blade. Follow the band saw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications when seating the finished blade.
