NOTE: The owner's manual of some woodcutting bandsaw may stipulate that it can cut metal but woodcutting bandsaws can only cut non-ferrous metals such as aluminum brass copper etc. Cutting steel could damage your saw due to the fact that blade speed on most woodcutting bandsaws (average 800 to 3500 fpm) is not slow enough (40 to 200 fpm) for cutting ferrous metals (i.e. steel). Trying to cut steel at woodcutting speeds will ruin the blade due to extreme heat produced. Carbon tool steel bandsaw blades are made from high end carbon steel. It can cut all types of woods and is especially ideal for soft woods i.e. pine polar fir and spruce. It is also used for cutting plastics aluminum metals and mild steel. Cutting mild steel at speeds under 200 fpm (feet per minute) with liquid coolant running along the back of the blade yields the best results.
