Q: How do I fold a bandsaw blade like this for storage?

These are top-quality 0.025" thick high-carbon steel bandsaw blades, with precision-ground teeth set using a computer-controlled process. Excellent general-purpose blades, they have a 6 tpi hooked-tooth profile with a 10° rake angle to cut aggressively, and deep gullets to help clear sawdust.
Recommended for material 1/2" to 4" thick, they cut a 5/8" minimum radius. Suitable for wood, plastic and non-ferrous metals.

These bandsaw blades aren't intended to be resharpened at home. Replace the blade once the hooked teeth dull rather than trying to hand-file the profile.
Match your bandsaw's tension gauge or manufacturer setting for a 1/4" blade. Correct tension keeps the hooked teeth cutting straight without overtightening.
It's recommended for material 1/2 to 4" thick, cutting a 5/8" minimum radius.
