Part of the Intenss PRO-DIE series, it measures 7 feet 9 inches long and 1\/2 inch wide with a 0.025-inch thickness. The blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 14 to 18 TPI, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across varying material thicknesses. High speed steel M42-grade teeth are bonded to a flexible back for durability under continuous use. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote efficient chip evacuation and consistent feed rates. Suitable for production bandsaw work, this blade is typically installed by machinists and metal fabricators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is designed for contour and straight cutting on steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design makes it well suited for structural shapes, tubing, solid bar stock, and other profiles where a fixed-pitch blade would generate excessive vibration or noise. The M42 bi-metal construction handles the elevated heat and abrasion common in cutting tough alloys and stainless grades without premature tooth wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 14-18 TPI reduces harmonic vibration during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth for extended tool life on tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction bonds HSS teeth to a flexible back for fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports contour cutting applications in addition to straight cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bandsaws accepting a 7-foot 9-inch blade loop with a 1\/2-inch blade width.
