Mk Morse 2721 Bi-metal Band Saw Blade 12/16 Tpi

Product Description

The MK MORSE 2721 is a high-performance bi-metal portable band saw blade engineered for tradespeople who cut a wide range of materials on the job. Built to the 1216 series specification, this blade runs at 12/16 TPI variable pitch with a modified raker tooth set, making it well suited for cutting materials 3/16 inches and thinner where conventional 18-tooth blades fall short. At 1/2 inch wide and 0.02 inches thick, it fits standard portable band saws and delivers a clean finish that holds up for welding applications. Licensed electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, and ironworkers will find it effective across the range of materials encountered in daily field work.

This blade is designed for portable band saw use in the field or shop. It is built to handle electrical conduit, strut, threaded rod, stainless steel pipe, tubing, structural pipe, machinable metals, PVC, and cast iron. The 12/16 TPI variable pitch design outperforms standard 18-tooth blades on thinner stock and reduces vibration during the cut, which matters on long cuts or overhead work. It is sold in bulk packs of 100, making it a practical stock item for service vehicles or supply rooms.

Key Features

• 12/16 TPI variable pitch for reduced vibration and cleaner cuts on thin-wall material
• Bi-metal construction with shock-resistant teeth extends blade life versus conventional blades
• Modified raker tooth set geometry supports consistent chip clearance across material types
• 1/2 inch width and 0.02 inch thickness fits standard portable band saw tool platforms
• Maximum recommended blade speed of 285 FPM for longest service life
• Bulk pack of 100 blades for fleet or shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for standard 1/2 inch portable band saws. Verify blade length requirement before ordering, as portable band saw models vary in required blade length.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following the portable band saw manufacturer's service instructions. Always power down and unplug the saw before changing blades. Confirm blade tracking and tension before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the maximum recommended blade speed of 285 FPM, as higher speeds reduce blade life and can cause premature failure.
