FAQs 

1. How do I choose the correct TPI for metal cutting?
Lower TPI works better for thick solid material, while higher TPI is more suitable for thin-wall tubing and sheet to prevent tooth stripping.

2. What metals can this M42 blade cut effectively?
It performs well on mild steel, carbon steel, and many alloy steels commonly used in fabrication and engineering.

3. Why is M42 steel preferred for metal bandsaw blades?
M42 high-speed steel offers superior heat resistance and hardness, allowing the blade to retain sharpness under continuous cutting.

4. Can this blade be used for continuous production cutting?
Yes, when paired with correct blade speed and feed rate, it is suitable for repeated and extended cutting cycles.

5. Does blade width affect cutting accuracy on metal?
A wider blade increases beam strength, helping maintain straighter cuts, especially on solid bars and thicker profiles.
