Specified 119.5-Inch Blade Length
The listed blade length is 119.5 inches, providing the primary dimension for identifying a compatible replacement blade. Check the machine manual or existing blade to verify the exact length required.
1-Inch Blade Width
The specified 1-inch blade width is intended for the product listing. Confirm that the blade guides, wheels, and tensioning system of your particular ACRA machine support this width.
Designed for Metal Cutting
This blade is intended for compatible metal-cutting applications in professional workshops. Selecting the correct blade construction and tooth geometry helps achieve reliable results across different metal types and thicknesses.
Suitable for Horizontal Cutting
A correctly matched blade supports horizontal cutoff operations involving compatible round stock, rectangular sections, pipes, and solid metal bars within the machine's rated capacity.
Compatible with Vertical Cutting Where Supported
Some related ACRA 9" x 16" bandsaw configurations offer both horizontal and vertical operation. Verify that your particular machine supports vertical cutting before using the blade for contour work.
Supports Accurate Miter Cutting
Related ACRA 916-series models feature a mitering vise, with cutting angles depending on the machine configuration. Correct blade selection and setup help maintain accuracy during approved angled cuts.
Compatible with Hydraulic Downfeed
The described machine configuration uses adjustable hydraulic downfeed to control the saw frame's descent. Proper blade selection helps support consistent cutting pressure and reliable operation.
Supports Multiple Blade Speeds
Related machines may use four-step pulley speeds or variable-speed drives, depending on the model. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidance when selecting the correct speed for the blade and workpiece.
Suitable for Coolant-Assisted Cutting
The supplied description identifies an integrated coolant system on related ACRA models. When recommended for the application, coolant can help manage heat, remove chips, and support longer blade life.
Appropriate Tooth Pitch Selection
Selecting the correct teeth-per-inch (TPI) configuration helps balance cutting speed, chip removal, and finish quality. Choose the tooth pitch according to material thickness and cutting requirements.
Consistent Blade Tracking
Correct blade dimensions, tension, and guide adjustment help maintain stable tracking and reduce unwanted blade movement during cutting.
Supports Efficient Chip Removal
Suitable tooth geometry helps clear chips from the cutting area, reducing tooth loading and supporting consistent performance during repeated cuts.
Helps Reduce Premature Blade Wear
Using the recommended blade speed, tooth pitch, feed rate, and tension can reduce unnecessary wear and help extend blade service life.
Practical Replacement Solution
Replacing a dull, worn, or damaged blade with a correctly specified replacement helps restore cutting performance and minimize avoidable downtime.
Compatibility Verification Before Installation
Check the blade length, width, thickness, tooth pitch, and machine requirements before installation. This is particularly important when identifying the correct blade for ACRA UE-916A or other related 916-series variants.
