At a Glance

Triangular Design Frame and Iron Table for Optimum Stability

Thanks to both a triangular design frame for superior column rigidity and a 19-square-inch precision ground cast-iron table that tilts 10 degrees left and 45 degrees right for additional stability, the 710751B lets you tackle both smaller and large-scale projects with flexibility and control. The triangular column design reduces rotational twist by 65 percent versus the traditional square column design. The curved-face, all-steel cabinet doors also increase the 710751B's rigidity, with the doors overlapping the cabinet openings with a special sealing strip that helps to contain the dust.

High Capacity and Quick-Release Blade Tensioning for Convenience

The 710751B has a 12-1/4-inch resaw capacity for cutting large pieces of wood, slicing through veneers, and cutting book matched panels at a blade speed of 3,000 SPFM. And thanks to the quick-release blade tensioning with two settings, you can better keep each job on track. One setting releases cutting tension and a second release setting allows for fast and easy blade changes. And the all-cast-iron hand wheels make smooth, easy blade adjustments with less effort.

Dust Port and Computer-Balanced Wheels for Precise Operation

By helping to prevent dust or debris from blocking your view of materials, the four-inch dust port can make your space cleaner and your work more productive. For added convenience, this port also lets you connect a dust collection system directly to it without the need for additional parts. The precision computer-balanced, eight-spoke wheels also help eliminate vibration for accurate blade tracking.

Independently Adjustable Ball Bearing Guide System

The 710751B offers time-saving features, including a tool-less, independently adjustable ball bearing guide system for quick and easy adjustments and smooth operation, and a single knob tracking adjustment to simplify the blade-tracking process.

Blade-Tracking Window and Dual Locking Doors for Safety

To help ensure on-the-job safety, a blade-tracking window and light-colored tire provide a clear view of the blade during tracking, and dual locking cabinet doors allow quick access to the blade when necessary. The 710751B is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

Magnate M59.25M12T18 M-42 Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blade, 59-1/4" Long - 1/2" Width; 18 Tooth; 0.025" Kerf

Magnate M59.25M12T18 M-42 Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blade, 59-1/4" Long - 1/2" Width; 18 Tooth; 0.025" Kerf Review



Magnate M59.25M12T18 M-42 Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blade, 59-1/4" Long - 1/2" Width; 18 Tooth; 0.025" Kerf Feature

  • 1/2" Width; 18 Tooth; 0.025" Kerf
A bi-metal bandsaw blade is made with a cobalt high speed steel tooth edge combined with a durable, spring steel backing material. This blade cuts faster and lasts longer than carbon steel blades. It can cut all types of woods, especially ideal for hard woods, i.e. oak, maple, walnut or cherry. It is also most commonly used for metalcutting, i.e. carbon steels, light alloy steels, mold steels and tool steels. There may be a number of other bandsaws or models that use the same blade lengths as the ones listed: 59-1/4" band saw blades suit the following models: Ryobi? BS903 (59-1/4" to 59-1/2? ); Black & Decker?, 9411; Sears? Craftsman; Tradesman? 9";Pro-Tech? 9"; Collins? 9" ; Toolkraft ? 4500, 4502; If in doubt, to determine bandsaw blade length: 1 - Check the owner's manual of your bandsaw machine for specifications.2 - If the owner's manual is not available, cut your old bandsaw blade so that it lies flat on a level surface, and measure its length. This method will provide the most possible accurate length.
