Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would give this minus 5 stars if I could. The blade broke after about 10 minutes of use cutting straight lines in thin plastic.
Since I was changing from a 1/4" blade, I had to reset all my guides, tracking and tension. The upper blade support was about 1/4" above the surface of the plastic. I've been doing this for 25+ years so I know how to set up a saw for a particular blade.
This blade broke after about 10 minutes. And it was probably less than 5 minutes of actual cutting. The job at hand required trimming a stack of 3/8 x 1/8 plastic strips to length.
An extended fence was used which supports the plastic strip on both sides of the blade. A cutout was placed in the fence at the blade position and a stop was placed in the T-Fence slot so once the blade got through the plastic it never touched the extended fence.

This 9-inch band saw blade from Delta is a high carbon steel replacement blade with precision machined and set teeth for accuracy. It has been tension-tested for strength, and it's a general purpose blade that cuts wood, plastic, or composition materials. The 28-176 fits the Delta 9-inch band saw (28-150) and other saws that require a 59-1/2-inch blade; but this blade is also available in a 72-1/2-inch length for 10-inch band saws by Delta, Dremel, or Skil.
