Need a new blade for your metal-cutting bandsaw? This Imachinist bi-metal blade is a great general-purpose choice. The specs are 93 inches long, 1/2 inch wide, and 0.025 inches thick, with 14 teeth per inch (14 TPI, constant pitch). The 'bi-metal' construction means it has a flexible high-strength steel back for durability and high-speed steel teeth for staying sharp when cutting through metal. It's designed for cutting soft ferrous metals. The blade goes through a careful manufacturing process including cold rolling, heat treatment, and precision welding for a long life. Remember, when you install it, make sure the teeth face the right direction (default is rightward) and follow the running-in procedure for the first few cuts to extend its life. Proper tension and using coolant will also help. If you do a lot of DIY metalworking or are a mechanic, having a spare blade like this on hand is a smart move.
