Band Saw Blades for Faster Cuts in Challenging Materials



The L.S. Starrett Company offers High Performance Intenss PRO-VTH Bi-Metal band saw blades featuring a unique tooth edge. The triple tempered and M-42 cobalt ground HSS teeth have a variable height and set for easier material penetration, enabling the blades to cut fast, in a pulsating action. Intenss PRO-VTH Bi-Metal band saw blades are designed to offer enhanced heat and wear resistance, and are suitable for the production cutting of exotic and nickel based alloys, high hardness steels and non-ferrous metals up to 40 HRC.

Intenss PRO-VTH Bi-Metal band saw blades include exclusive Starrett technology called bi-metal unique. Starrett bi-metal unique joins two strips of high-speed steel wires to the backing steel using solid-state diffusion bonding. Instead of a single wire welded to the outside of a steel backer, this process bonds two strips of high-speed steel to each side of the top edge of the steel backer using intense heat and pressure. The bonding area between the backer and the high-speed steel is increased 170% over the conventional electron beam or laser welding. "This new process creates a stronger, longer lasting blade," said a company spokesperson.
