Ideal Industries 36-070 Portable Band Saw Blade, 10 TPI, 44-7/8" x 1/2" x .020"

The Ideal Industries 36-070 Portable Band Saw Blade is engineered for professional electricians, contractors, and metalworkers who need a dependable blade for fast, clean cuts on job sites. Sized at 44-7/8" x 1/2" x .020" with a 10 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth configuration, this blade is designed to fit portable band saws commonly used to cut conduit, unistrut, all-thread rod, pipe, and other metal stock encountered in commercial and industrial electrical installations. The 10 TPI tooth count strikes a balance between cutting speed and edge control, making it a versatile choice for a range of material thicknesses found in everyday electrical and mechanical work.

  • Blade Thickness: .020" thickness engineered to balance flexibility for tracking around the wheel with durability during cutting.
  • Tooth Configuration: 10 TPI (teeth per inch) for efficient chip clearance and a good balance of cut speed versus finish quality on typical electrical and metal-working materials.
  • Portable Saw Compatibility: Sized specifically for portable band saws, supporting on-site cutting tasks without requiring a stationary saw setup.
  • Consistent Tooth Pattern: Uniform 10 TPI spacing across the full 44-7/8" length helps maintain a steady cutting rhythm and reduces binding during use.

Ideal Industries 36-070 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 44-7/8 inch band saw blade fit my portable band saw?
The Ideal Industries portable band saw blade measures 44-7/8 inches long by 1/2 inch wide by .020 inch thick, which is the standard loop size for portable band saws that take a 44-7/8 inch blade. Check the length stamped on the blade you are pulling off or on your saw's data plate, since portable saws also come in 32-7/8 inch and 35-3/8 inch deep-cut sizes and those are not interchangeable.
2) Which TPI should I pick for cutting EMT conduit and all-thread rod?
Four tooth counts are offered: 10, 14, 18, and 24 TPI. For thin-wall EMT and all-thread rod, go with the 18 TPI (36-072) or 24 TPI (36-073) so at least three teeth stay in the wall of the material and the blade doesn't strip teeth. Heavier rigid conduit, unistrut, and solid stock cut faster with the 10 TPI (36-070) or 14 TPI (36-071). If you only want to stock one blade for mixed electrical work, 14 TPI is the middle ground.
3) What are the Ideal Industries part numbers for each TPI of this band saw blade?
Order by tooth count: 36-070 is 10 TPI, 36-071 is 14 TPI, 36-072 is 18 TPI, and 36-073 is 24 TPI. All four are the same 44-7/8 x 1/2 x .020 inch blade, so the only thing changing between them is the tooth spacing.
4) Can I use this blade to cut unistrut and strut channel?
Yes. These blades are intended for metal conduit, pipe, unistrut and channel, all-thread rod and general metal stock on electrical and mechanical work. For strut, the 10 TPI (36-070) or 14 TPI (36-071) clears chips better through the thicker web; the 18 and 24 TPI blades are the better call on thin-wall material.
5) Is there an alternative to the Ideal 36-070 band saw blade if I need blades in a multi-pack?
The Greenlee 389 Series Porta Band Saw Blade is supplied as a 5-pack, so it is the option to look at when you want several blades in one order rather than a single blade. The Ideal Industries 36-070 is a portable band saw blade measuring 44-7/8" x 1/2" x .020" with a 10 TPI tooth count. Confirm the Greenlee 389 blade length and width match your saw before ordering, since the Ideal blade's fit is defined by that 44-7/8" x 1/2" size.
6) Is the Greenlee 389 Series blade a direct replacement for the Ideal 36-070?
Both are portable band saw blades, but they are not interchangeable on identity alone. The Greenlee item is catalogued by its 389 series designation, while the Ideal 36-070 is specified by dimension and tooth count: 44-7/8" long, 1/2" wide, .020" thick, 10 TPI. Match the length, width, and TPI your saw requires rather than assuming series equivalence, and order by the exact MPN once you have confirmed the size.
7) Is this sold as a single blade or a multi-pack?
The Ideal Industries 36-070 series blades are ordered by individual TPI part number. If you want a multi-pack for a crew, the Greenlee 389 Series porta band saw blade is sold as a 5-pack.
8) Will a .020 inch thick blade handle the wheel diameter on a portable saw without cracking?
The .020 inch blade thickness is what lets it flex around the drive and idler wheels on a portable band saw while still holding up in the cut. Paired with the 1/2 inch width, it tracks straight instead of wandering, which is what you want when you are cutting conduit overhead or in a tray.
9) What else could I buy instead of the Ideal portable band saw blade?
Greenlee's 389 Series porta band saw blade is the other option ZenSupply carries in this category, offered in a 5-pack. The specs we hold on it are the series designation only, so if your saw needs a specific loop length, the Ideal blades are the ones with the dimension stated outright at 44-7/8 x 1/2 x .020 inch.
