M42 Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blades

Developed and tested by Starrett, with a patent application pending, Versatix MP multi purpose band saw blades set new standards in
cutting structural steels, sections, tubes and small solids. The new tooth design ensures that the blades can easily cope with the
shock loading conditions associated with intermittent cutting and manual 'pull down' band saw machines with uncontrolled feed rates.
• New tooth design with massive inherent tooth strength makes blade
ideal for cutting sections, structurals, tubes and small solids.
• Also ideal for use on manual ‘pull down' band saw machines where
the uncontrolled feed rate can easily overload the teeth on a standard
blade.
• Triple tempered M42 cobalt high speed steel teeth.
Versatix MP has been extensively tested against leading competitive
products in a range of cutting situations and results concluded that
Versatix MP outperformed all competitive blades tested by a
minimum of 20%!

Versatix MP Welded Loops

For a wide range of materials. Keeps its edge in long-run, intricate contouring jobs. Regular tooth (constant pitch) is recommended for the cutting of solids AND irregular shapes. Variable tooth form works best when machine conditions are not ideal.

M42 Bi-Metal Bandsaw Blades

Starrett Powerband Gladiator M42 is the ultimate competitor in bi-metal bandsaw blades, providing a universal solution with optimum efficiency in large production cutting operations. A high speed steel M42 cutting edge, incorporating a new tooth design with a positive rake angle and variable pitch, combine to give Powerband Gladiator? M42 the utmost in cutting performance and cost effectiveness.

Powerband Gladiator Welded Loops
