Band Saw Blade BAHCO EC+27-0.9-5/8-N — 27 mm width, 0.9 mm thickness, 5/8" pitch, EL-CUT PLUS

BAHCO EL-CUT PLUS EC+27-0.9-5/8-N is a 27 mm wide, 0.9 mm thick continuous roll band saw blade with a 5/8" tooth pitch designed for metal cutting. Supplied as a coil for making custom-length blades or re-ripping, this blade is intended for use in industrial and workshop band saw machines. The EL-CUT PLUS geometry combines tooth form and material selection to provide efficient cutting performance in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals while maintaining blade stability for straight and contour cuts.

Advantages

The 27 mm width and 0.9 mm thickness balance stiffness and flexibility, enabling accurate straight-line cutting and controlled contouring. The 5/8" pitch is optimized for cutting medium-thickness metals, reducing vibration and improving tooth life. Supplied as a continuous roll, the blade allows operators to size and join lengths to match specific machines, minimizing waste and increasing versatility across different band saw setups.

Suitable for

• Cutting medium-thickness ferrous metals such as mild steel and stainless steel
• Cutting non-ferrous metals including aluminium and copper
• Re-ripping or fabricating custom blade lengths for workshop and industrial band saws
• Straight and contour cutting where a narrow blade profile is required

Key specifications

• Blade width: 27 mm
• Blade thickness: 0.9 mm
• Tooth pitch: 5/8" (0.625")
• Configuration: continuous roll for custom length cutting and lapping
• Tooth geometry: EL-CUT PLUS optimized for metal cutting performance

How to use

Measure the required blade length for your band saw and cut the roll accordingly. Prepare the ends and join them using an appropriate welding or jointing method compatible with your machine and workshop procedures. Install the blade following the band saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct tension, tracking and coolant or lubrication as recommended for metal cutting operations. Adjust feed rate and cutting speed to match the material thickness and composition for optimal performance and tooth life.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use suitable coolant or cutting fluid when cutting metals to reduce heat build-up and extend blade life. Maintain correct blade tension and check tracking regularly. Match tooth pitch and feed speed to material thickness: the 5/8" pitch is suitable for medium-thickness stock. When joining blades from the roll, ensure welds or joints are ground and inspected before cutting.
