Q501 IC Wide Set Band Saw Blades for Structural Steel

The Q501 IC M-42 Band Saw Blade is purpose-built for industrial metal cutting, making it one of the most reliable band saw blades for metal on the market. Engineered with a premium M-42 high-speed steel tooth edge and a durable alloy backer, the Q501 is ideal for cutting structural steels, beams, channel, pipe, and other heavy ferrous stock. Its IC (Interrupted Cut) tooth design and wide set blade profile ensure fast chip evacuation and maximum durability, even in applications with varying cross-sections.

This blade is the top choice among professional metal fabricators and steel processors who demand performance and longevity. The precision-ground tooth geometry reduces vibration, maintains a consistent chip load, and delivers clean, accurate cuts that minimize the need for secondary processing. The Q501’s tough backing material resists fatigue, making it perfect for high-volume structural cutting environments.

As one of the leading structural bandsaw blades, the Q501 thrives in fabrication shops, production lines, and service centers where aggressive feed rates and consistent finish quality are critical. The M-42 teeth hold up under extreme heat and pressure, offering a long blade life and reduced cost per cut compared to standard bi-metal blades.

Offered in multiple widths and TPI configurations, the Q501 IC is compatible with both manual and automated band saw machines. Its wide set tooth design improves clearance, reduces friction, and enables smoother feeding across tough materials like hardened steel and thick-wall tubing.

When your operation depends on power, speed, and accuracy, the Q501 IC M-42 Band Saw Blade delivers. It’s the go-to blade for professionals looking for high-performance band saw blades for metal and the most trusted option in the structural bandsaw blade category.
