M.k. Morse 163406100C-MSC Band Saw Blade Coil 6 Tpi

Product Description

The M.K. MORSE 163406100C-MSC is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for metal-cutting and general fabrication applications. This coil delivers 100 feet of continuous blade material at 1/2 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick, allowing shops and field technicians to cut custom blade lengths as needed. The 6 teeth per inch (TPI) constant pitch configuration suits medium stock removal on a range of materials. A raker tooth set and flexible back construction help manage chip clearance and blade fatigue during extended cutting cycles. Installers and fabricators stock this coil to service multiple saws from a single roll, reducing downtime between blade changes.

This coil stock is suited for stationary and portable band saw applications in fabrication shops, mechanical contractor operations, and maintenance facilities. The 1/2 inch blade width fits a wide range of horizontal and vertical band saw frames that accept standard blade widths in that class. The flexible back design accommodates tighter wheel diameters common on portable band saws. At 6 TPI with a raker set, this blade is best suited for cutting solid stock, structural shapes, and tubing where a balance of feed rate and finish quality is required. Custom blade length cutting from coil stock is standard practice where multiple saw models with differing wheel-to-wheel dimensions are in service.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for cost-effective cutting of mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials
• 6 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load and predictable cut rate on medium-section stock
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced blade loading
• Flexible back resists fatigue cracking on smaller-diameter band saw wheels
• 100-foot coil allows custom blade lengths to be cut and welded to fit multiple saw frames
• 0.025 inch blade thickness balances rigidity with flexibility for standard 1/2 inch blade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a coil stock replacement for band saws accepting 1/2 inch wide blades; final blade length is field-cut and butt-welded to match individual saw wheel-to-wheel dimensions.

Installation Notes

Blade fabrication from coil stock requires a band saw blade welder and grinder; this work is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or experienced fabricators. Power down and lockout the band saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling unspooled blade coil, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard. Verify blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications after installation before resuming operation.
