The blade measures 64.5 inches long and 0.5 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.035 inches. It runs a variable-pitch raker tooth set at 10 to 14 TPI with a positive rake angle, using M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible back. This combination makes it well-suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metal with consistent chip clearance and reduced vibration across varying material cross-sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15396 is intended for use on vertical or horizontal bandsaws in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and blade noise, which is especially useful when cutting tubing, structural shapes, or solid bar stock where the tooth-to-material contact changes through the cut. The M42 cobalt high speed steel tooth material holds an edge longer than standard M2 blades when cutting harder alloys and stainless steel. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch raker tooth set at 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and noise during cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle improves cut efficiency and chip evacuation on steel and stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back material resists fatigue cracking at blade wheel radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved and radius cuts in metal stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for vertical and horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 64.5-inch blade length with a 0.5-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness.
