MK Morse ZCZA14A 59 1/4-Inch x 1/8-Inch x .014 14TPI Wood Cutting Bandsaw Blade

I purchased two of these blades. They are used only to cut very thin plastic. I was very careful in installing and adjusting the blades. I'm been around machine shops for over 40 years. I'm not new to adjusting bandsaws.

The first blade lasted maybe a total of 30 minutes of cutting. The second blade didn't last 10 minutes.

Other blades on the same saw have absolutely no problem. I have yet to have another blade break.

As with most bandsaw blades, these blades broke at the weld. My suspicion is that the weld was not annealed properly.

The blades cut very well while they last. They run very quiet and produce a smooth cut. Although we were cutting only straight cuts, I'm sure the narrow, 1/8" blade would allow some intricate cutting.

I have found the Morse brand bandsaw blades to work better than the OEM blades that came with the saw. They appear to last longer, and to not fail as easily, as the OEM blades.

I received this blade in less than 5 days, was in two like I thought w/ Amazon Prim. Very nice blade works great. I would buy again. I us it occasional so not heavy use.
