Designed for the Bainbridge 712 Bandsaw
Specified for the vintage Bainbridge 712 metal-cutting bandsaw, this replacement blade measures 93.5 inches in length and 5/8 inch in width.
93.5-Inch Blade Length
The 93.5-inch blade length is the specified size for this product listing. Correct blade length is essential for proper installation, tensioning, and tracking.
5/8-Inch Blade Width
The 0.625-inch blade width provides a suitable cutting profile for the specified machine. Always confirm the width against the existing blade and machine documentation before ordering.
Designed for Metal Cutting
Intended for metal-cutting applications involving compatible steel sections, bars, tubing, and other metal stock. Tooth pitch and blade material should be selected according to the material and its thickness.
Horizontal Cutting Configuration
The Bainbridge 712 was designed primarily as a horizontal metal-cutting bandsaw, making it suitable for workshop fabrication and metal stock cutting.
Vertical Utility Cutting Capability
The machine's pivoting-head configuration can also support vertical utility cutting when equipped with the appropriate auxiliary table attachment.
Cast-Aluminum Wheel Design
The original Bainbridge 712 features heavy cast-aluminum wheels with a slightly crowned profile. This design helps guide the blade and maintain consistent tracking during operation.
Heavy-Duty Worm Gear Drive
The machine uses a Boston Gear worm-drive assembly, reflecting its robust mechanical construction and suitability for demanding metalworking applications.
Rigid Cast-Iron Construction
The Bainbridge 712 is built around four major iron castings. Its substantial construction helps provide machine stability during heavy cutting operations.
Blade Tracking and Stability
Correct blade dimensions, appropriate tension, and properly adjusted guides are important for maintaining stable tracking and accurate cutting performance.
Compatible With Different Tooth Configurations
The appropriate tooth pitch depends on the material type and thickness. Coarser tooth pitches are generally suitable for thicker stock, while finer pitches are more appropriate for thinner materials.
Suitable for Fabrication Workshops
This replacement blade is intended for compatible metalworking applications in fabrication shops, machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial workshops.
Replacement for Vintage Equipment
Designed for users maintaining older Bainbridge machinery, this blade specification provides a replacement option for the 712 model, subject to dimensional verification.
Supports Consistent Cutting Performance
Selecting the correct blade material, tooth pitch, speed, and feed rate helps maintain cutting quality and reduce premature tooth wear.
Practical Replacement Solution
A correctly matched replacement blade helps restore the cutting function of a vintage Bainbridge 712 while supporting routine workshop and fabrication work.
