All Magnate bandsaw blades are welded and fabricated in the USA. The coils/material are USA brands but may not be made in the USA. All band saw blades’ pictures depict a general bandsaw blade and thus may look different from each particular item. Use with a wood cutting band saw, ( DO NOT use a metal-cutting bandsaw ). This gullet edge, tungsten carbide particle grit bandsaw blade is ideal for cutting applications involving materials with a cross section greater than 1/4” (6.4mm). It cuts abrasive and hardened materials such as wire reinforced rubber, steel belted radial tires, ceramics, fiberglass, composites, hardened steel, cast iron (grey with voids), graphite, and case hardened materials. Warning: For packaging purposes, this blade is folded into a coiled position which is similar to a spring and may pop open when being coiled or uncoiled. Wear heavy duty leather gloves and eye/body protection while using extreme care when coiling or uncoiling a blade. Failure to exercise the proper care could result in serious bodily injury. See your bandsaw owner's manual for further safety instructions. Please refer to your owner's/operation manual to make sure the blade's length, width and thickness can fit your bandsaw machine.
