Description
The Starrett Intenss Pro-Die bimetal band saw blade has an Intenss tooth design, wavy set, and a neutral rake for cutting low alloy steel; aluminum; stainless steel; carbon steel; tool, die, and mold steel; steel up to C45 Rockwell hardness; nickel-based alloys; and nonferrous metal. The blade can make cuts in solid, structural, and tubular shapes. The Intenss tooth has a neutral rake angle for general-purpose cutting. The teeth are made of triple-tempered M-42 high-speed cobalt steel with an alloy steel backing strip that resists fatigue. It also has a variable tooth pitch that reduces noise levels and vibration. The blade has a wavy set, which has groups of teeth set to each side of the blade with varying amounts of set in a controlled pattern, allowing for thinner cuts by helping prevent stripping.Band saw blades are long, continuous bands of metal that loop around the wheels of band saws and can make straight or curved cuts in metal, wood, stone, plastic, and other materials. When purchasing band saw blades, consider the application, as this will affect the choice of tooth rake, tooth set, pitch, and size of the blade. Band saw blades are available with a positive rake angle or a neutral (also called zero or straight) rake angle, and with a raker, wavy, or alternate tooth set. Pitch (the number of teeth per inch or per 25.4 mm) affects the type of finish and may be constant or variable. Band saw blades are available in different lengths and width to fit the requirements of specific band saws.The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.

Very good blade, the last one I had lasted a long time. I used it to cut stainless, aluminum, and carbon steel. I wish I could have gotten it in a 92" but im glad to get one that will work.Can’t beat Starrett for performance and reliability.Installed on my Harbor Freight metal saw. Made a HUGE difference compared to the one that was on itBought a Harbor Freight 4x6 band saw, took the blade that comes with it and threw it in the trash (they are garbage)... Put the starrett blade on adjusted the guides/tension and went to cut ... Blade works very well, and seems to track very straight as straight as I can get the HF saw to track which is a lot easier with a good quality double set blade like this one. The HF saw is a little slow and lacks refinement but I am getting very nice cuts with limited time spent adjusting the tracking.. The saw is now good enough for the work I do and surprisingly accurate.Couldn't find in stores works wellI've cut a lot of hot rolled, aluminum, wood, and stainless with this blade. The mill scale on hot rolled is hard and this blade chewed through it and the teeth are still sticky sharp. I bought more just to have in stock but the first one isn't slowing down after a lot of cutting.I purchased an inexpensive Chinese horizontal band saw several years ago for home use on hobby weld projects. Spending my career in machine shops I know the importance of a quality saw blade. This is a great blade, and I am able to do some good work with my cheap saw. Indeed it costs 5x of what you would pay for a blade you buy at Home Depot, though there is simply zero comparison. You won’t find anything but cheap junk at those places. This blade will last 20x as long if the cheap blade will even make it through any steel at all. I have bought the Starrett bimetal blade in both single pitch and multi pitch variations. I don’t usually cut big stock, though my cheap saw with this blade has gotten me through a lot of pre-hard 4140 (~32 HRC) up to 5/8 round and mild steel tubing down to 18ga. Although I would rather by from a local weld supplier, Amazon dealers have good stock,I'm just starting some welding projects so I'll be sure to update this after I'm done to see how the life of the blade is holding up.I'm running this on the harbor freight 4x6 metal cutting band saw, one of the older versions, but pretty much same spec as the new one. I'm following the break in instructions of running it on the lowest feed speed, and I've modified the saw itself so I can adjust the spring further. I can now take the tension up to the point that the saw will raise itself up if I wanted to crank it all the way in. This lets me have very light pressure on it which helps hone the teeth for the break in process.So far I've made about 100 cuts in some 1" 16 gauge square tube. Granted with the light pressure and slow speed it does take a while to get through, but I can touch the metal and even the blade itself while it's running and it's barely warmer than ambient temperature. It's cutting through very cleanly.All the teeth are still there, no problems at all. So it makes me wonder if some of the negative reviews are from people who are disregarding any sort of break in process and just running high speed high pressure which Starrett themselves say will break the teeth off. Or maybe they just got a bunk blade, it happens. I'll update again in a month or so after I've put this blade through some heavier gauge stuff, but so far it's been fantastic.Super clean cuts, very quiet, no hanging and it runs cool.I used this blade (64.5 inches) to cut mild steel for the frames of 10 stable doors. (no coolant)80 cuts of 3 inch c channel structural steel.80 cuts of 3 x 1/8 inch for the crosses.for the hinges90 cuts of 2" x 5/16 plate30 cuts of black pipe30 cuts of 1/2 inch cold rolled rodI was working on the jambs when the blade broke due to metal fatigue. It was still cutting well and straight.This is the blade is it.It's a honey for the money. Bi metal is the way to go for your metal cutting needs at home on the old bandsaw.Poor quality blade. Not worth the price. Definitely not a bimetal blade.High quality Starret blade at discount price, I have cut a ton of stuff and no sign of getting dullHave used it on some 1/4” aluminum and 1/8” steel. Worked well
