Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Starrett bi-metal blades superior?

Starrett's bi-metal construction bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible alloy backing, creating blades that combine cutting performance with exceptional durability. This design resists tooth strippage and blade breakage, typically lasting up to ten times longer than carbon steel alternatives whilst maintaining cutting efficiency throughout their lifespan.

Which Starrett blade should I choose for my application?

Blade selection depends on material and required finish. For general metalwork, 24 TPI offers an excellent balance of speed and finish. Use 18 TPI for faster cutting in thick sections, or 32 TPI for thin materials, tubes, and when a fine finish is essential. For harder materials like stainless steel, Starrett's Intenss Plus blades provide superior performance.

Are Starrett saws suitable for both professional and DIY use?

Absolutely. Whilst Starrett tools are engineered to professional standards and widely used in industrial settings, their durability and ease of use make them equally valuable for serious DIY enthusiasts who appreciate quality tools that deliver consistent results and excellent value through extended service life.
