stainless steel cutting wheel are faster and last longer than abrasive blades

stainless steel cutting wheel with a thin kerf and small, specially shaped teeth, averaging 60 on a 7 1/4 inch blade, with diamond or carbon coating are best for cuts where the edge matters. They are also faster and last longer than abrasive blades. metal cutting wheels are typically used for cutoff tasks on pipe and square rail stock. Unlike woodworking band saws, most make their cuts on a horizontal bed with the blade lowering down through the material. Some older metal band saws are upright, and still others are designed for either wood or metal. The blade for stainless steel has a similar tooth pattern to the jigsaw blade and should be made from tungsten carbide as well. Whether using a metal cutting band saw, or using a multipurpose saw, set your speed setting at low for a smooth cut.
