Band Saw Blade Overview

1 Width Tip of the cutting edge to the back of the blade

2 Thickness Measurement taken on body (gage)

3 Blade Body The back of the blade, to the bottom of the gullet

4 Tooth The cutting portion of the blade

5 Tooth Pitch Distance from one tooth tip to the next tip

6 T.P.I. Number of teeth per inch

7 Tooth Set Bending of the teeth, right or left, to allow bladeclearance through the cut (or kerf) — seeillustration “A” above

8 Tooth Face Surface of the tooth, where the chip is formed

9 Tooth Back The angled surface of the tooth opposite the tooth face

10 Tooth Rake Positive (P) or Straight (S). The angle of the toothAngle face measured from a line perpendicular to the

back of the blade

11 Gullet The curved area between two teeth

12 Gullet Depth The distance from the tooth tip to the bottomof the gullet

Selecting the Best Band Saw Blade —A Six Step MethodGetting the most efficient performance from your band saw machinerequires the proper band saw blade. The information below will giveyou the best blade recommendation in most cases.There are always exceptions due to machine type/condition or somevariation in the materials to be cut. If you need help, your distributoror Starrett saw expert will be happy to assist.

1 – Blade TypeUse this chart as a guide to pick a blade or blades that match thematerials to be cut, then see the appropriate blade information.

5 – Type of Pitch:Constant – All teeth on theblade have uniform spacing,gullet depth, rake angle throughout the full length. Typically forgeneral purpose cutting. Identified by one pitch number.

Variable – Size of tooth anddepth of gullet varies tosubstantially reduce noise levelsand vibration. Helps cut all structurals, tubing and solids smoothlyand 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 teethper inch /25mm). Thick sections require coarser pitches (less teethper inch/25mm). The charts are good guidelines.

Feeds and SpeedsStarrett has a Band Saw Blade Selection Slide Chart available byrequest for a quick reference to the optimal feeds and speeds

Band Saw Blade Break-In ProceduresThe 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 thenormal surface feet per minute (SFM). Adjust the feed pressure toabout one-half the normal cutting rate for the first few cuts or for 50-100 square inches (323-645 sq. cm). Increase to the normal rate.

BAND SAW BLADES

3 – Tooth RakeStraight (Zero), Positive, or Heavy Set*

*Available with Emperor for cutting heavy beams and bundles.

Rake

Positive

Straight(Zero)

4 – Tooth Shape:Regular – A conventional toothused for general purposesawing, straight or zero rake.Gladiator® – Large teeth, up to12º positive rake angle, foroptimum production cutting ofsteels up to 42 HRc, stainless,nickel based and nonferrousalloysHook – A positive rake for fastcutting of nonferrous metals andnon-metallicsSkip – Zero rake and shallowgullets for cutting large sectionsof soft, nonferrous material.

Because the cross section limits in the chart are broad and overlap,choose a coarser pitch if the speed of cut is most important.Choose a finer pitch if finish is most important.

Hard-to-cut materials such as nickel-based alloys like Inconel,hardened steels, tool steels and stainless steels – Run the normalsurface feet per minute (SFM). Adjust the feed pressure to aboutthree-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 fewcuts, then increase to the normal cutting rate. Avoid vibration.NOTE: Be sure to remove chips on these types of materials.

Carbide Grit BandsThese band saw blades will easily cutthrough most hard and abrasive materials.

Starrett carbide band saw blades areespecially useful in cutting new andcomplex materials such as compositegraphite, fiber-reinforced plastics andtitanium. In some cases, they cut betterthan regular blades. In other cases, they’rethe only blades that will cut when a regularband 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 thicknessesless than 1/4� (13mm), use continuousedge blades

◆ Coarse grit is applicable for fastercutting of thick materials or metals

◆ Finer grit is applicable on thin materialsand fine finishing

◆ Minimum machine wheel diameter of24� (600mm) is recommended forcontinuous band. Smaller diameterstend to increase fatigue and reduceblade life

◆ Use widest applicable blade for straight cutting

◆ 30% reductions in cut radius can beachieved using grit blades instead ofstandard blades

◆ Coolants are needed for most metalcutting and should be considered forglass and ceramics

◆ Start cuts at lower speeds and graduallyincrease until the required performanceis achieved

◆ Metal cutting – a fine, stringy strip indicates the correct feed and band speed

◆ Increase the life of the blade by turningthe blade inside-out from time to time.This presents a new edge to the work

Diamond Grit BandsIf your material cannot be cut satisfactorilywith carbide grit bands, then werecommend diamond grit bands. Typicalmaterials that can be cut with these bladesare 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 finishrequired

◆ Increase the life of the blade by turningthe blade inside-out from time to time.This presents a new edge to the work

Band Saw Blade Selection andOperating Guide SlideChartStarrett offers a helpful guide to bandsaw selection, listing the mostcommon material being cut today(e.g., material 1212, 4� solid bar). Italso recommends the pitch to beused for the cross section to be cut.Finally, there are recommendationsfor surface feet per minute speedplus the optimum cutting rate – alldeveloped by our R & D group fromactual tests.

PackagingThe coil stock offered byStarrett is packaged insturdy dispensingcontainers in 100� (30m)lengths up to 1/2� (12.7mm) widths.

All other sizes are packagedin a box dispenser. Starrettalso packages weldedblades two (2) per box orten (10) per standard cartonexcept portable bandswhich are packed three (3)per sleeve. All boxes are clearly marked for easy identification.

Band Saw ServiceStarrett saw engineers will tune up and perform valuablepreventative maintenance on your production machine usingStarrett Band Saw Blades, at Starrett’s expense. They also instruct saw operators individually or in seminars on the optimumperformance of blade and machine for the materials to be cut.They make corrective adjustments, fully review machine condition, blade mounting and operation in detail. This helpsmaintain good sawing and long life for both the machine andblades. Ask your distributor to arrange a visit through your localStarrett sales representative.

Welding ServicesBands can be purchased pre-welded from your local distributor.Coil stock is also available for your in-house welding needs.Carbon product 1/4�-1� (6.3-25mm) and bi-metal 1/4�-1/2� (6.3-12.7mm) can be welded on standard welding equipment.
