Bandsaws are known for their versatility Anybody who has felt the heavy weight of a time crunch during a rush job knows you sometimes need to bend a few rules. So, was the blade I was using from McMaster Carr the right one? Thanks for your help, Dennis. Yes and no. I would recommend our M42 dieband blade over the blade McMaster Carr has sold you, but yes you were using a bimetal blade and that would be the right blade.
However, I think your saw is running too fast for cutting stainless and that is part of the problem you are having. I do not know for sure the speed in feet per minute based on your response, but stainless should be cut at around surface feet per minute. My guess is you are cutting at a wood cutting speed, and burning up the blades prematurely.
You are probably right about the wood cutting speed. Is your M42 a better blade then the bimetal I was using? What do you think? Sometimes they are smaller pieces unacceptably small to cut on a table saw on the order of only " wide. I was thinking of getting a vertical metal cutting bandsaw the horizontal versions would be too big vs frequency of use, and not really work to cut what I need.

I don't know if a better three-wheeler exists or if this is a common problem; so I would like to stick with two-wheelers is possible. Of course, large is always better. On the other hand may be the easiest to get inexpensively. If i try to convert a wood bandsaw to cut metal, what do you think it would take? Google Sponsor Google Sponsor. For the aluminum I have had acceptable results using an old wood cutting blade in a wood cutting bandsaw.
I also have cut a lot of brass this way. Of course it wouldn't help with the steel part of your needs. Also wood cutting saws have rubber tires on the wheels so a warm blade will do that no favors. Isn't this what you really need? Originally Posted by Richard Coers. Originally Posted by Anthony Whitesell.
