Designed for Atlas VT 40 Compatibility
Specified for the Atlas VT 40 bandsaw configuration, this replacement blade features a 177-inch blade length and 5/8-inch width according to the supplied product specifications.
177-Inch Blade Length
The 177-inch blade length provides the specified continuous loop size for compatible Atlas VT 40 configurations. Correct blade length is essential for proper installation, tensioning, and tracking.
5/8-Inch Blade Width
The 5/8-inch blade width provides a stable cutting profile for compatible bandsaw applications, supporting controlled blade movement and consistent cutting performance.
Bi-Metal M42 Blade Construction
M42 bi-metal blades combine a flexible alloy steel backing with high-speed steel cutting teeth. This construction offers excellent wear resistance and is suitable for demanding metal-cutting applications.
Designed for Metal Cutting
With the appropriate tooth configuration, this blade can be selected for cutting mild steel, structural steel, tool steel, pipes, tubes, and other compatible metal materials.
Precision-Welded Endless Loop
A precision-welded endless loop supports consistent blade movement around the machine wheels and helps maintain smooth operation and reliable tracking.
Variable Tooth Pitch Options
Variable tooth pitches, including configurations such as 6/10 TPI, help accommodate different material thicknesses and cutting requirements.
Efficient Chip Removal
Appropriate tooth geometry and pitch help remove chips from the cutting area, reducing tooth loading and supporting smoother cutting performance.
Stable Blade Tracking
Correct blade dimensions, proper tension, and adjusted guides help maintain stable tracking and reduce unwanted blade movement during operation.
Suitable for Structural Metal Cutting
With the appropriate tooth configuration, the blade can be selected for compatible applications involving structural steel, pipes, tubing, and solid metal stock.
Reduced Cutting Vibration
Proper blade tension, guide positioning, and suitable tooth selection help minimize vibration and improve cutting consistency.
Improved Heat Management
Selecting the correct blade speed, feed pressure, and tooth configuration helps manage heat generation during metal-cutting operations.
Flexible Blade Material Options
Depending on the intended application, compatible carbon steel and bi-metal blade constructions may be available. Bi-metal blades are generally preferred for demanding metal-cutting operations.
Extended Blade Service Life
Using the correct blade material, tooth pitch, cutting speed, and feed pressure can help reduce premature tooth wear and extend blade life.
Professional Workshop Performance
Designed for compatible cutting operations in fabrication shops, machine shops, engineering workshops, manufacturing facilities, and industrial maintenance environments.
