What band saw blade should I use to cut 18-8 stainless steel?
What band saw blade should I use to cut 18-8 stainless steel?
Cutting 18-8 stainless steel requires a bi-metal bandsaw blade with a variable tooth pitch. Bi-metal blades with high-speed steel teeth and backing material are ideal for achieving precise cuts on stainless steel. We stock several different types of M42 bimetal bandsaw blades for cutting stainless steel - in both solid and hollow structural shapes. Contact us for recommendations on blades as well as speeds and feeds for your saw.

What if I want more than is in stock - how long do backorders take to ship?
What if I want more than is in stock - how long do backorders take to ship?
We have ten-of-thousands of items ready to ship in stock, but often customers need something a little bit custom or more stock than we may have on hand at the moment. We're happy to help and make sure you, as our customer, gets their product in a timely manner.

Most common fasteners (common sized, nuts, bolts, screws and washers) can be shipped within 1 week or less even if you order more stock than we show available at the moment. If the item is semi-common - for example a washer with a unique outer diameter that is somewhat uncommon - we can usually ship within 2-3 weeks. Complete custom fasteners can be made to print and ship within 4-6 weeks to your door often! This is assuming your product is not overly complex and requires a unique mold or tooling to be developed(even in those cases we have sometimes been able to deliver to a customer's door in less than 8 weeks!

We do all this because we realize you need our fasteners for a reason - a project, a manufacturing run, or a repair job - and we want you to succeed.
