M.K. Morse Master Cobalt® Band Saw Blade – 14/18 TPI

Reduced-vibration cutting for machinable metals, stainless steel, pipe, tubing, and solid stock.
The M.K. Morse Master Cobalt® Band Saw Blade is designed for dependable cutting performance across a wide range of machinable metals. Its bi-metal construction helps provide long blade life, while the variable 14/18 TPI tooth pattern helps reduce vibration and maintain a clean, consistent cut.

For best results, regularly clean and lubricate the blade to reduce heat buildup and extend service life. Using a cutting lubricant such as the Tapmatic Edge Lube Cutting Stick (LPS-43200) can help improve cutting performance and blade longevity.

Why 14/18 TPI?

The 14/18 variable-pitch tooth pattern is designed for medium-thickness material and helps reduce vibration during cutting. Variable tooth spacing also helps provide smoother cutting performance across a broader range of workpiece shapes and sizes compared with a fixed-pitch blade.

Blade Care

Proper blade maintenance can help improve cut quality and extend blade life. Keep the blade clean and use the proper cutting lubricant to reduce friction and heat during use.

For additional lubrication, consider the Tapmatic Edge Lube Cutting Stick (LPS-43200).
