2 products available
Selecting the right chop saw blade ensures clean, cold cuts through industrial structural steel, pipe, and conduit without burning or heavy burrs. Compel supplies maintenance teams, fabrication workshops, and structural installers with high-performance cutting solutions. Our inventory covers circular cold-cut discs, portable bandsaw loops, and continuous bandsaw stock.
We supply tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) discs, alloy steel discs, and M42 bi-metal bandsaw stock for steel, iron, aluminum, and stainless steel pipe. Sourced directly from manufacturers such as okerqi and XCAN, these blades provide reliable chip clearing and long service life during demanding cutting schedules.

Choose the Correct Blade Format for Your Cut
Metal cutting tooling splits between continuous-feed band saws and direct-drive circular saws. Your equipment setup and section profile determine the right category choice.
A metal cutting circular saw blade or dedicated chop saw disc suits fast cross-cuts on jobsites and fabrication benches. For continuous stock cutoff, bundling, and slicing solid bar, bandsaw blades for metal provide a narrower kerf with minimal material waste.
- Chop saw and circular formats: Best for straight cuts on angle iron, threaded rod, EMT conduit, rebar, and flat bar.
- Bandsaw formats: Best for horizontal structural saws, shop cutoff stations, and deep solid sections.
Chop Saw Blade Sizing, Material, and Tooth Count
Matching the disc diameter and tooth geometry to your workpiece prevents chipped teeth and motor strain. When selecting chop saw blades for steel, diameter choices span from compact 110 mm and 115 mm discs up to 355 mm (14 in) cut-off wheels. Diameters such as 185 mm, 254 mm, and 305 mm (12 in) fit specific shop machines.
Tooth count directly controls cutting speed and surface finish on iron and steel stock. High tooth configurations such as 80T and 90T give smooth finishes on thin profiles. Lower counts like 66T clear chips faster when cutting thick iron and structural steel. Select carbide tipped edges or Nano Blue coated tungsten carbide for long life during dry-cut metal operations.
Bandsaw Dimensions, Thickness, and Pitch Selection
A metal cutting blade for bandsaw equipment must match the machine's exact mechanical loop specifications. Sizing begins with length and band width. Our catalog includes compact lengths like 1140 mm, 1425 mm, and 1435 mm, along with heavy production lengths up to 2908 - 3810 mm.
Band width and gauge dictate beam strength. A 13 mm width with 0.65 mm thickness provides flex for portable bandsaws. A 27 mm (1 in) width with 0.9 mm (0.035 in) thickness delivers stability on large horizontal cutoff machines. Select M42 bi-metal with 6, 10, or 14 TPI depending on wall thickness.
Buying guide
Choosing Metal Cutting Saw Blades
- When should I specify M42 bi-metal instead of alloy steel?
- M42 bi-metal features high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible backing steel. Choose M42 bi-metal when cutting stainless steel, tough steel pipe, or solid bar subject to work-hardening. Standard alloy steel performs well on mild steel, rebar, and structural shapes where material hardness is lower.
- How do I choose the right TPI on a metal cutting blade for bandsaw work?
- Maintain at least three teeth in contact with your material at all times. Choose 14 TPI for thin EMT conduit and light gauge tubing to avoid tooth stripping. Select 6 TPI or 10 TPI for heavy bar and solid billets to ensure large gullets can clear chips.
- Can I run a carbide tipped metal cutting circular saw blade on an abrasive cut-off saw?
- No. Tungsten carbide tipped discs require designated low-RPM cold cut saws. Running a carbide blade at abrasive chop saw speeds will overheat the tool, shatter the teeth, and create hazards. Check your saw's drive arbor and operating RPM against the blade specification before installing.
- Which chop saw blades for steel are best for EMT conduit and threaded rod?
- Choose a high-tooth circular disc designed for cold cutting, such as an 80T or 90T disc in a 355 mm size, or a compact 110 mm to 150 mm disc. High tooth counts provide clean edges on thin structural walls without deforming the conduit or crushing external threads.
- What band thickness should I choose for bandsaw blades for metal?
- Band thickness depends on the diameter of your saw wheels. We stock 0.65 mm thickness bands for portable and benchtop metal saws. Larger industrial saws require 0.9 mm (0.035 in) bands to maintain straight cuts under high blade tension.
