Starrett Intenss Pro-ST Band Saw Blade, Bimetal, Regular Tooth, Raker Set, Positive Rake, 144" Length, 1" Width, 0.035" Thick, 5-8 TPI

The Starrett Intenss Pro-ST bimetal band saw blade has an Intenss tooth design, a positive rake angle, and a raker tooth set to resist heat, abrasion, and shock for high-production cuts in structural steel. The teeth are made of triple-tempered M-42 high-speed cobalt steel for strength. The blade can make cuts in tubular shapes, structural shapes, and tubular bundles. It has extra blade clearance for minimizing binding and stress during cutting. The Intenss tooth design has an aggressive positive rake angle of up to 12 degrees for fast, efficient cutting and a fine surface finish. It also reduces vibration and noise levels, and prevents chipping and stripping compared to standard blades. This makes it suitable for cuts in wide flange beams and heavy-wall structural steel. It has a raker tooth set, which alternates between left-leaning, right-leaning, and unset teeth. The blade has a variable pitch, so the tooth size and gullet depth vary in order to reduce noise levels and vibrations and to remove chips efficiently.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 tooth rake, tooth set, pitch, and size of the blade. Band saw blades are available with a positive rake angle or a straight (also called zero) 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 widths 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.
