Bi-metal band saw blades

21 December 2014

Versatix MP bi-metal band saw blades from The L.S. Starrett Company are claimed to set new standards in the cutting of structural steel profiles – such as RSJ, I-beams, C-sections, tubes, channels and small solids used in many industry sectors.

The blades feature a revolutionary tooth design, which results in a significant increase in tooth strength and, consequently, a reduction in tooth stripping. This, combined with Starrett Bi-Metal Unique Technology, ensures that the blades can easily cope with the shock loading conditions associated with intermittent cutting, making the blade ideal for manual ‘pull down’ band saw machines with uncontrolled feed rates.

While standard saw blade tooth profiles have natural stress points, the Versatix tooth design has been developed to minimise any stress propagation and to evenly distribute the cutting load.
