POWERTEC 13197 Band Saw Blade 80\" x 3/8\" x 24 TPI - High Carbon Steel POWERTEC USA 80\" LENGTH - 3/8\" WIDTH - 24 TPI ULTRA-FINE - HIGH CARBON STEEL Professional Fine-Cutting Band Saw Blade (13197) Precision Edge Performance for Specialized Applications
The POWERTEC 13197 is an industrial-grade 80-inch band saw blade, specifically precision-engineered for woodworking and metalworking projects that demand ultra-fine finishes and burr-free cuts. Measuring 3/8-inch in width with a dense 24 TPI (Teeth Per Inch) count, this blade is the definitive choice for cutting thin-profile non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper), hard plastics, and dense hardwoods where standard coarse blades would cause excessive splintering. Optimized for 12-inch band saws, including popular Craftsman, Ryobi, and WEN models, it provides the perfect balance of flexibility and tracking stability.
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel, the 13197 features a heat-resistant flex-back design that resists the fatigue caused by high-speed operation. Every tooth is induction-hardened to RC 64-66, ensuring the edge remains sharp when processing abrasive materials. With precision-ground welds for seamless, vibration-free tracking and a raker-set tooth arrangement, this blade ensures your saw runs quiet while producing the surgical accuracy and smooth surface finish required for fine furniture, model making, and industrial fabrication.
Key Product Benefits:
- Ultra-Fine 24 TPI: Delivers smooth, clean cuts in thin materials, minimizing post-cut sanding and deburring.
- High-Grade Carbon Steel: Flex-back construction handles the bending stress of 12\" wheels without snapping.
- Precision Tracking: 3/8\" width offers more rigidity than scrolling blades while maintaining excellent curve-cutting ability.
- Hardened Raker Teeth: RC 64-66 tooth hardness provides superior wear resistance in dense hardwoods and soft metals.
- Seamless Weld: Expertly crafted joints prevent \"thumping\" on the tires, protecting your saw\'s bearings.
