NOTE: The owner's manual of some woodcutting bandsaw may stipulate that it can cut metal, but woodcutting bandsaws can only cut non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, brass, copper, etc. Cutting steel could damage your saw, due to the fact that blade speed on most woodcutting bandsaws (average 800 to 3500 fpm) is not slow enough (40 to 200 fpm) for cutting ferrous metals (i.e. steel). Trying to cut steel at woodcutting speeds will ruin the blade due to extreme heat produced. Carbon tool steel bandsaw blades are made from high end carbon steel. It can cut all types of woods and is especially ideal for soft woods i.e. pine, polar, fir and spruce. It is also used for cutting plastics, aluminum, metals, and mild steel. Cutting mild steel at speeds under 200 fpm (feet per minute) with liquid coolant running along the back of the blade yields the best results. Following is a guideline for choosing an adequate tooth pattern to cut metal materials, Use 24 raker to cut 1/16" to 1/4" thick material, 18 raker to cut 1/8" to 3/8" thick material, 14 raker to cut 3/16" to 7/16" thick material, 10 raker to cut 1/4" to 5/8" thick material, 6 Hook to cut 3/8" to 2" thick material, 4 Hook to cut 3/4" to 4-1/2" thick material, 3 Hook to cut 1" to 6" thick material, 2 Hook to cut 2" to 12" thick material There may be a number of other bandsaws or models that use the same blade lengths as the ones listed: 99-3/4 inch ( 8 ft. 3-3/4 inch, 8' 3-3/4" ) bandsaw blades suit the following models: Craftsman Professional 14; General International 90-100 M1; If in doubt, to determine bandsaw blade length: 1 - Check the owner's manual of your bandsaw machine for specifications - not only the length, but also the range of the width and thickness. 2 - If the owner's manual is not available, refer to previous invoices. 3 - Cut your old bandsaw blade so that it lies flat on a level surface
