Professional High-Carbon Heavy Duty Band Saw Blade (13312)
Aggressive Stock Removal and Resaw Precision for 10-Inch Saws
The POWERTEC 13312 is a professional-grade 72-inch band saw blade, specifically precision-engineered for the rigorous demands of resawing and high-velocity straight ripping. At a robust 1/2-inch width, this blade is the definitive choice for woodworkers who need maximum beam strength to prevent blade deflection in thick stock. Featuring an aggressive 6 TPI (Teeth Per Inch) hook-tooth profile, the 13312 provides large gullets for rapid chip evacuation, ensuring cool cutting performance even when processing dense hardwoods or oversized veneers.
Constructed from premium high-carbon steel, this blade is flex-tempered to navigate the 10-inch wheels of the WEN 3962 and Delta 28-140 with absolute axial stability. The teeth are induction-hardened to RC 64-66, offering elite edge retention and a surgical cutting path that eliminates "blade lead." With a precision raker-set geometry, this blade maintains 100% efficient vertical alignment, resulting in flatter veneers and square joints. Whether you are slicing custom veneers or dimensioning rough lumber, this blade delivers the mechanical rigidity required for showroom-quality results.
- High-Tensile Resaw Power: 1/2" width provides the structural stiffness needed for deep, straight-line tracking.
- Aggressive 6 TPI Geometry: Large hook-tooth gullets prevent heat buildup by ejecting sawdust instantly.
- Industrial Grade HCS: High-carbon steel body is heat-treated for maximum flex-life on benchtop saws.
- Zero-Drift Tracking: Precision-set raker teeth ensure the blade stays axial to the fence for accurate ripping.
- Perfect 10" Saw Fit: Ideal replacement for WEN BB7250; fits WEN 3962, Delta 28-140, and most 72" saw models.
