M.k. Morse 3955681380 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The M.K. MORSE 3955681380 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting structural steel and similar ferrous materials. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it fits horizontal and vertical band saws commonly used in fabrication shops and metal service centers. The blade pairs a flexible backing material with M42 high-speed steel teeth in a variable 6-10 TPI pitch pattern, letting it handle a range of stock profiles and wall thicknesses without blade swapping. It is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics performing production or maintenance cutting on structural shapes.

This blade is suited for contour and straight cutting of structural steel stock including angle iron, channel, tubing, and flat bar. The variable pitch tooth pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which extends blade life and improves surface finish on the workpiece. The Matrix II series straight rake geometry promotes consistent chip formation on dense ferrous materials. Typical applications include metal fabrication shops, steel service centers, and industrial maintenance facilities where reliable, repeatable cuts on structural sections are required. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 2 units per order.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back for durability and break resistance
• Variable 6-10 TPI pitch reduces blade vibration and improves cut quality across varying stock thicknesses
• Straight rake angle (Matrix II 0-degree rake) optimized for structural steel and dense ferrous materials
• Welded blade loop — 11 feet 6 inches long — ready to install with no additional joining required
• Toothed cutting edge with straight tooth form supports both contour and linear cutting operations
• Flexible back type allows the blade to track properly around band saw wheels without stress cracking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production blade for band saws accepting a 1-inch-wide by 0.035-inch-thick blade in an 11-foot 6-inch loop length. Verify your saw manufacturer's specified blade width, thickness, and loop length before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blades should be installed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the specific saw model. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Inspect blade guides, wheel alignment, and blade tension according to the saw manufacturer's service documentation before making the first cut. Do not force-track a blade that does not seat properly on the wheels, as this can cause premature tooth wear or blade failure.
