Popular Starrett Products

Starrett's bandsaw blade range includes their renowned Intenss Pro-Die blades for general-purpose metalworking, featuring their patented tooth geometry for faster, smoother cuts. The Advanz MC7 carbide-tipped blades excel when cutting highly abrasive materials or large production runs where blade longevity is critical. For structural steel and heavy fabrication work, Starrett's bi-metal blades with variable pitch configurations minimise vibration and deliver clean cuts through challenging materials and cross-sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a Starrett bandsaw blade last?

Blade life depends on material being cut, feed rates and cutting speeds, but Starrett bi-metal blades typically outlast carbon steel blades by 3-5 times. With proper tensioning, coolant use and appropriate speeds, professional users often achieve thousands of cuts before replacement is needed.

What makes Starrett bi-metal blades superior?

Starrett uses electron beam welding to fuse high-speed steel cutting edges to a spring steel backing, creating a blade that combines the hardness needed for cutting with the flexibility to resist breakage. This results in longer life, better cut quality and reduced cost per cut.

How do I select the right tooth pitch?

As a general rule, maintain at least 3-4 teeth in the material at all times. Use coarser pitches (fewer teeth per inch) for larger sections and softer materials, and finer pitches for thin-walled materials, harder metals and when surface finish is critical.
