FROM A NEW CUSTOMER:
“Hi. I fabricate custom Jet Ski stands out of 2″ square tubing, angle & 2-1/2″ angle, wall thickness varies between 1/8″ – 3/16”. I own the Grizzly G4030 metal bandsaw ( http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-1-2-x-9-1-2-Metal-Cutting-Bandsaw/G4030 ) It does the job fine. I do however need to purchase a great metal blade for my application & I’m hoping you can point me in the right direction. The blade size is 85″x3/4, still unclear regarding the best need of TPI, hoping you can point me in the right direction. I look forward to hearing from you & hopefully purchasing some quality metal band saw blades. Thanks, Carl Petron www.tufstands.com”
I DECIDED THAT THE A 3/4″ BIMETAL M42 BAND SAW BLADE WITH A 10/14 TOOTH PATTERN WOULD WORK OUT GREAT FOR CARL. WE DISCUSSED HIS OPERATION ON THE PHONE AND VIA EMAIL.
“Joe, I appreciate your follow up call earlier today, this tells me where I’ll be taking my business from here on in. Basically I own the grizzly G4030 metal bandsaw (http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-1-2-x-9-1-2-Metal-Cutting-Bandsaw/G4030 ). It’s a simple bandsaw that does the job for the application I am fabricating. As per your recommendations the Bi Metal M42 (10-14 TPI) 3/4″ WIDE is the best blade for my needs. I spoke to you about length and I’ll require a 85″ length (see Grizzly link specs). I look forward to hearing from you. I plane on purchasing well over $100 in blades & take advantage of the free shipping. Thank you sir. Carl Petron”
