Bi-metal blades are band saw blades comprising two different types of metal, as their name suggests. The toothed edge of the blade is made of high-speed steel, while the blade's body is constructed of spring steel. Both sections are then welded together, forming a single blade. Bimetal blades are metal cutting blades. They are used on band saws to cut carbon steel, tool steel, structural steel, stainless steel, pipes and tubes, die steel, angles and flat stock, and mixed metal applications. The three main types of bandsaw blades for cutting metal are carbon steel, high-speed steel, and alloy steel. Carbon steel blades are used for cutting softer metals like aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, and other nonferrous metals. In general, it is recommended to use the widest blade your saw will allow and for radius cuts you will want a 3/4″ width or below, depending on the radius you want to achieve. Wood Cutting – We carry 3 styles of wood cutting bandsaw blades. Proforce, Shear Force and the Resaw King. HSS teeth can maintain their sharpness for longer periods, making them ideal for cutting tough materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, and non-ferrous metals. They are commonly used in metalworking industries and fabrication processes. Cutting thinner metals, including sheet metal, requires a finer cut. Use 18-24 TPI bi-metal blades. For thicker metals such as steel pipe, angle irons, or tubing, use 14-18 TPI bi-metal blades. For aluminum, an 8-10 TPI blade is best. Band saws are not suitable for cutting very thin sheet metal; a rule of thumb suggests the metal to be cut should be thicker than the depth of 3 band saw blade teeth, however they are excellent for cutting thin walled profiles such as box and angle

Wood Cutting – We carry 3 styles of wood cutting bandsaw blades. Proforce, Shear Force and the Resaw King. Blades for standard portable band saws have a length of 32-7/8" to 35-3/8" and are used to cut metal pipe, strut channel, and threaded rod. They are used on medium-sized band saws with a 3" to 3-1/2" cutting capacity. The number of TPI define s the pitch of the blade and can vary from 1 to 32 TPI. On some bandsaw blades there are different pitches on the same blade referred to as Vari-Pitch. TPI is measured from gullet to gullet, not tooth tip to tooth tip – this is known as pitch. Bandsaw blades differ in thickness , width, length, and tooth configuration. Length varies by machine, but the size of your saw's wheels typically determines thickness and width: Smaller machines (9–12" wheels) need thinner blades to prevent breaking the welds. Operators cut metal into smaller sizes and slice various things. For instance, you would use a portable bandsaw to cut bolts , screws, bar stocks, and metal studs. Portable bandsaws are metal shop must-haves because they're high-quality machines and easy to use.
