Milwaukee Bi-Metal Portable Band Saw Blade for HBS120E/V28, 1140 mm x 12.7 mm x 0.5 mm, 1.8 mm Tooth Pitch, 3-Pack

For pros who cut metal daily, the Milwaukee Bi-Metal Blade for HBS120E/V28 portable band saws delivers a cut that stays straight and lasts longer than standard carbon blades. Each blade pairs an M42 high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy steel backing, laser welded for a bond that resists tooth loss even in stainless and hardened alloys. The 1.8 mm constant tooth pitch balances fast cutting with a smooth finish, while the 1140 mm length and 12.7 mm width fit Milwaukee HBS120E and V28 band saws without adjustment. Sold as a 3-blade pack, this set keeps downtime low and production high.

Highlights

• Bi-metal construction: M42 HSS teeth on alloy steel backing for up to 10x longer life than carbon blades
• Laser welded edge prevents tooth stripping under high feed pressure
• Constant 1.8 mm tooth pitch (~14 TPI) cuts thin-wall tubing, sheet, and solid stock cleanly
• 1140 mm x 12.7 mm x 0.5 mm dimensions match Milwaukee HBS120E and V28 band saws
• 3 blades per pack for immediate replacement and lower cost per cut

In daily use

On a busy fabrication floor, switching to these Milwaukee blades means fewer stops to swap dull blades. The M42 HSS teeth hold their edge through mild steel, stainless, copper, and even plastics, while the alloy steel backing flexes around band saw wheels without cracking. The 1.8 mm pitch removes material quickly but leaves a burr-free edge that needs little clean-up. Because the blades are pre-welded and ready to install, you can replace a worn blade in under a minute and get back to cutting.
