Selecting the Best Band Saw Blade —
A Six Step Method
Getting the most efficient performance from your band saw machine
requires the proper band saw blade. The information below will give
you the best blade recommendation in most cases.
There are always exceptions due to machine type/condition or some
variation in the materials to be cut. If you need help, your distributor
or Starrett saw expert will be happy to assist.
1 – Blade Type
Use this chart as a guide to pick a blade or blades that match the
materials to be cut, then see the appropriate blade information.

Rake
choose a coarser pitch if the speed of cut is most important.
Choose a finer pitch if finish is most important.
Variable Pitch Selection
Positive
Straight
(Zero)
*Available with Emperor for cutting heavy beams and bundles.
4 – Tooth Shape:
Regular – A conventional tooth
used for general purpose
sawing, straight or zero rake.
Gladiator® – Large teeth, up to
12º positive rake angle, for
optimum production cutting of
steels up to 42 HRc, stainless,
nickel based and nonferrous
alloys
Hook – A positive rake for fast
cutting of nonferrous metals and
non-metallics
Skip – Zero rake and shallow
gullets for cutting large sections
of soft, nonferrous material.
5 – Type of Pitch:
Constant – All teeth on the
blade have uniform spacing,
gullet depth, rake angle throughout the full length. Typically for
general purpose cutting. Identified by one pitch number.
Variable – Size of tooth and
depth of gullet varies to
substantially reduce noise levels
and vibration. Helps cut all structurals, tubing and solids smoothly
and quickly. Identified by two pitch numbers.
6 – Pitch (Teeth-per-inch)
Pitch is generally regarded as the number of teeth per inch or
25mm. Cutting thinner sections requires a finer pitch (more teeth
per inch /25mm). Thick sections require coarser pitches (less teeth
per inch/25mm). The charts are good guidelines.
Feeds and Speeds
Starrett has a Band Saw Blade Selection Slide Chart available by
request for a quick reference to the optimal feeds and speeds
Band Saw Blade Break-In Procedures
The proper break-in of a bi-metal blade assures longer blade life,
faster cuts for a longer period of time and consistent performance.
Refer to the slide selection chart for proper feeds and speeds.
Easy-to-cut material such as carbon steel and aluminum – Run the
normal surface feet per minute (SFM). Adjust the feed pressure to
about one-half the normal cutting rate for the first few cuts or for 50100 square inches (323-645 sq. cm). Increase to the normal rate.

Hard-to-cut materials such as nickel-based alloys like Inconel,
hardened steels, tool steels and stainless steels – Run the normal
surface feet per minute (SFM). Adjust the feed pressure to about
three-quarters of the normal for the first few cuts or 25-75 sq.
inches, increase the cutting rate part way to normal for the next few
cuts, then increase to the normal cutting rate. Avoid vibration.
NOTE: Be sure to remove chips on these types of materials.

Powerband M-42
Powerband is the ideal general purpose
metal sawing blade.
Material: This bi-metal blade has a high
speed steel cutting edge (contains 8%
cobalt) welded to an alloy steel back. This
steel resists heat, abrasion and shock which
allows faster cutting rates over a wide
range of materials.
Versatility: Available in a wide range of
thicknesses and widths. Can be used on
horizontal machines and light-duty vertical
machines equally well. The blade is the
choice for contour cutting and general
purpose cutting.
Coils are furnished in 100, 150 and 250
(30, 45 and 76m) lengths as listed. Blades
are also furnished welded, in convenient
lengths ready to use.

Emperor
Ideal for production cutting of
structurals, Emperor® is a bi-metal
blade with a heavy set made of M-42
high-speed steel containing 8% cobalt.
Features
◆ Heavy set provides extra blade
clearance to minimize binding or
pinching when beam stresses are
relieved and/or when bundles move
during cutting
◆ Resists heat, abrasion and shock,
allowing faster cutting
Coils are furnished in 150⬘ and 250⬘
(45 and 76m) random lengths as listed.
They are also furnished welded, in
convenient lengths all ready to use.

BAND SAW BLADES
Carbide Tipped
Band Saw Blades
If our regular band saw blades won’t cut it,
these blades will.
Type I
A unique carbide cylinder, selected for its
toughness, shock and wear resistance, is
welded to a tough, ductile back. Together,
this results in a carbide tipped blade that
allows faster, smoother cutting at a lower
cost on a variety of materials.
Applications – Aluminum castings,
fiberglass, masonite, plastics, composite
materials and abrasive wood.
Type III
A unique carbide cylinder, selected for its
extreme resistance to wear and heat. High
hardness teeth are welded to a tough
ductile back. Together, this results in a
carbide tipped band saw that allows faster
and smoother cutting at a lower cost on the
very difficult to machine metals.
Applications – Difficult to machine steels,
high-alloy metals, titanium, stainless steel,
inconel, etc.
NOTE: These blades should be used on
rugged, production-type machines.

Carbide Grit are one blade per box.
Friction Cutting Blade
Made of a special fatigue resistant material, this blade is ideal for
thin, ferrous sections. It is made of a high-silicon alloy and has a fully
hardened tooth with a special tempered back allowing it to be run at
speeds up to the 15,000 SFM (4500m) necessary to achieve the
melting point of the ferrous metal to be friction cut. A heavy tooth set
further enhances the fast cutting action of these blades. Teeth with
“air scoop” action brings oxygen into the kerf to burn up the metal.
Cuts materials up to 5/8 (16mm) thick.
Tooth shape is regular. Friction blades are furnished welded in
convenient lengths, ready to use. These blades are also furnished in
100, 250 and 500 (30, 76 and 152m) coils as listed.

BAND SAW BLADES
Carbide Grit Bands
These band saw blades will easily cut
through most hard and abrasive materials.
Starrett carbide band saw blades are
especially useful in cutting new and
complex materials such as composite
graphite, fiber-reinforced plastics and
titanium. In some cases, they cut better
than regular blades. In other cases, they’re
the only blades that will cut when a regular
band can’t.
Use Carbide Grit Band Saws :
◆ For material 1/4⬙ (13mm) in thickness
and above, use gulleted blades
◆ Where surface chipping is possible or on
brittle materials or material thicknesses
less than 1/4⬙ (13mm), use continuous
edge blades
◆ Coarse grit is applicable for faster
cutting of thick materials or metals
◆ Finer grit is applicable on thin materials
and fine finishing
◆ Minimum machine wheel diameter of
24⬙ (600mm) is recommended for
continuous band. Smaller diameters
tend to increase fatigue and reduce
blade life
◆ Use widest applicable blade for
straight cutting
◆ 30% reductions in cut radius can be
achieved using grit blades instead of
standard blades

BAND SAW BLADES
Diamond Grit Bands
If your material cannot be cut satisfactorily
with carbide grit bands, then we
recommend diamond grit bands. Typical
materials that can be cut with these blades
are glass-fired ceramics, stone, silicon,
Pyrex, laminated fiberglass, etc.
Cutting tips:
◆ Roller guides and rubber-coated idle
and drive wheels are recommended
◆ Minimum Band Wheel Diameter:
12⬙ (300mm) for gulleted blades
◆ Use continuous edge on cross sections
up to 5/8⬙ (16mm)
◆ The use of fine, medium or coarse grit
should be determined by the finish
required
◆ Increase the life of the blade by turning
the blade inside-out from time to time.
This presents a new edge to the work
◆ Blade Tension: 15,000-20,000 PSI
(1,000-1,250kg/cm2 )
