The Wellsaw 1216HA Bandsaw Blade is a premium replacement blade designed for demanding industrial metal-cutting applications. Engineered for the Wellsaw 1216HA fully automatic horizontal bandsaw, this 162-inch x 1.25-inch bandsaw blade delivers reliable cutting performance, excellent blade stability, and consistent results during high-volume production.
Designed for heavy-duty fabrication shops, steel-processing facilities, machine shops, and industrial manufacturing environments, this replacement blade is suitable for cutting structural steel, stainless steel, tubing, pipe, bars, and other compatible metal stock. Proper tooth pitch, blade tension, cutting speed, feed force, and coolant management help maximize cutting accuracy, blade life, and overall production efficiency.
The specified replacement blade length is 162 inches.
The specified blade width is 1.25 inches.
It is designed for compatible Wellsaw 1216HA fully automatic horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws.
Yes. It is intended for demanding production environments when paired with the correct tooth configuration and machine settings.
Depending on the blade construction and tooth pitch, it can be used for structural steel, stainless steel, tubing, pipe, bars, and other compatible metals.
The wider blade profile provides strong rigidity and helps minimize deflection during heavy-duty cutting operations.
The supplied specifications indicate approximately 12 inches high × 16 inches wide rectangular capacity, with some versions supporting up to approximately 15 × 20 inches.
Depending on the specific 1216HA configuration, round cutting capacity ranges from approximately 12-3/4 inches to 15 inches in diameter.
The specified operating range is approximately 65 to 390 FPM with infinitely variable speed control.
Yes. The supplied specification describes hydraulic blade tensioning for consistent cutting performance.
Yes. The Wellsaw 1216HA is equipped with hydraulic workholding for secure material clamping during cutting.
Yes. The compatible machine uses an automatic feed system with a stroke range of approximately 1/8 inch to 24 inches, with multi-indexing capability.
The supplied technical specification indicates a feed-force range of approximately 0 to 300 lbs.
Use the correct tooth pitch, maintain proper blade tension and tracking, select the appropriate speed and feed force, and maintain adequate coolant and chip removal.
A correctly sized 162-inch × 1.25-inch replacement blade provides the specified dimensions for the application while supporting stable tracking, accurate cutting, and reliable automatic production performance.
