PITCHPitch is the number of teeth per inch or 25mm. Cuttingthinner sections requires a finer pitch (more teeth perinch/25mm). Thick sections require coarser pitches(fewer teeth per inch/25mm).The charts are good guidelines. Because the cross sectionlimits in the chart are broad and overlap, choose a coarserpitch if the speed of cut is most important. Choose a finerpitch if finish is most important.BLADELENGTHThe blade length varies according to the band saw machinetype and specifications. Please find the correct blade lengthon your band saw machine user manual.Section Size(Inch)Constant Pitch(TPI)Variable Pitch(TPI)5/320 - 3/80 32 or 24 14-181/40 - 1/20 18 or 14 10-141/20 - 3/40 14 or 10 8-123/40 - 10 10 or 8 6-1010 - 1-1/20 8 or 6 5-81-1/20 - 3-1/20 6 or 4 4-63-1/20 - 70 4 or 3 3-470 - 100 3 2-3100 - 160 1.4-2140 - 200 1-2160 - 320 1-1.2Over 300 .8-1.3Wall ThicknessOutside diameter of tube or maximum profile section length (Inch)(Inch) 3/80 3/40 1-5/80 2-3/80 3-1/40 40 4-3/40 60 80 120 160 200 2403/320 14-18 14-18 10-14 10-14 10-14 10-14 8-12 8-12 8-12 8-12 6-10 6-10 5-81/80 10-14 10-14 10-14 10-14 10-14 8-12 8-12 8-12 6-10 6-10 6-10 5-8 5-85/320 8-12 8-12 8-12 8-12 6-10 6-10 6-10 5-8 5-8 4-6 4-6 4-63/160 6-10 6-10 6-10 6-10 5-8 5-8 5-8 5-8 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-61/40 5-8 5-8 5-8 5-8 5-8 5-8 5-8 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 3-45/160 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 4-6 3-4 3-4 3-43/80 4-6 4-6 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-31/20 4-6 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-35/80 4-6 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-33/40 4-6 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-310 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 1.4-2 1.4-21-1/40 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 1.4-2 1.4-21-5/80 3-4 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 1.4-2 1.4-220 3-4 3-4 2-3 2-3 1.4-2 1.4-2 1-22-3/80 2-3 2-3 1.4-2 1.4-2 1-210 starrett.com

FLASH WELDERSSave money while adding convenience.Now you can do your own top qualitywelds on your band saw blades,the way you want it and when you wantit, while making your sawing operationmore profitable.Starrett Flash Welders are first-rateperformers - workhorses that will helpyou in many ways:c Eliminate costly, time-consumingoutsourcing of welds.c Eliminate the need for excessiveinventories of custom length blades -you simply stock coils at the lower cost.c Get the blade you need right away.c SW Series Welders include a built-inwater cooled system, necessary onwelders with anneal control.c These welders use a lower voltagefor a longer period of time thanmanual annealing, causing more heatto conduct in the jaws and carriages.51

NEW BLADE WITHRAZOR SHARP TEETHTOOTH CORRECTLYBROKEN INTOOTH INCORRECTLYBROKEN INBLADE BREAK-INUsing the right break-in procedures for a bimetalblade assures longer blade life, fastercuts for a longer period of time and consistentperformance. Conversely, blade life can besignificantly compromised if the proper break-inprocedures are not followed.LONGER BLADE LIFEThe teeth on a new band saw blade are razorsharp. To withstand the cutting pressures of bandsawing, the tip of each tooth should be honed tocreate an extremely small radius on its tip.Easy-to-cut material such as carbon steel andaluminum:A. Run the normal surface feet per minute (SFPM).B. Adjust the feed pressure to about one-half thenormal cutting rate for the first few cuts or for50-100 square inches (323-645 sq.cm).C. Increase to the normal cutting rate.D. Avoid vibration.Hard-to-cut materials such as nickel-basedalloys like inconel, hardened steels,tool steelsand stainless steels:A. Run the normal surface feet per minute (SFPM).B. Adjust the feed pressure to about threequartersof the normal cutting rate for the firstfew cuts or for 25-75 square inches (161-484sq.cm).C. Then increase the cutting rate part way tonormal for the next few cuts.D. Then increase to the normal cutting rate.E. Avoid vibration.BAND SAW SERVICE & SUPPORTStarrett service technicians are available to tuneup and perform preventative maintenance onyour production sawing machine using StarrettBand Saw Blades, at no additional cost.They fully review machine condition, blademounting and operation in detail, makingadjustments, as required, to help maintain goodsawing and long life for both the machine andblades.TRAININGStarrett service technicians can also instruct sawoperators on achieving the best performance ofblade and machine for your applications.Contact your Starrett Band Saw distributor aboutarranging a visit to your workplace by a Starrettservice technician.START TO CUT MATERIALAT REDUCED CUTTINGRATEAFTER BREAK-IN WHENTHE BLADE HAS FULLYENTERED THE WORK-PIECE, INCREASE THEFEED RATE OVER A SERIESOF CUTS UNTIL THERECOMMENDED CUTTINGRATE IS ACHIEVED52 starrett.com

BAND SAW BLADE INSTALLATIONGUIDELINESAlways follow the machine manufacturer’s instructionsand recommendations for blade changes and thesafe operation for the band saw machine. Theguidelines are not intended to replace the machinemanufacturer’s instructions or recommendations. Thegeneral information contained in the guidelines isintended to assist in the proper installation of bandsaw blades. Proper blade installation achieves moreefficient blade performance. Please contact yourmachine manufacturer for appropriate proceduresfor blade changes for your specific machine andyour saw blade manufacturer for appropriate cuttingrecommendations. The L. S. Starrett Co. nor itsemployees, shall not be held responsible for theaccuracy or completeness of these guidelines.c Wear gloves when handling band saw blades.BASIC BLADE CHANGE GUIDELINESc Position saw head to appropriate location tofacilitate ease of blade change.c Follow required lock out tag out procedures.c Position chip brush away from saw blade.c Relieve saw blade tension and remove blade.c Remove any chips from saw guides and bandwheels.c Select appropriate blade for cutting application.(Refer to saw blade selection chart)c Unfold blade properly. Do Not Throw. Throwingthe blade will result in tooth damage that willreduce saw blade performance. (Refer to unfoldingprocedure)c Install blade with saw teeth pointing in properdirection.c Wear eye protection, safety shoes, and hearingprotection.c Apply appropriate tension to the blade.c Be aware of pinch points and keep hands andclothing clear of rotating blade.FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLYc Follow all the safety instructions shown in theband saw machine operator’s manual and on themachine labels. Recognize and read safety andwarning signs such as Danger, Warning andCaution.c Follow the saw blade installation instructions for themake and model of the band saw machine.c Adjust guide arms to appropriate positions toworkpiece.c Adjust blade guides for proper blade support.c Adjust chip brush to fully engage saw blade teethto ensure proper chip removal.c Check hydraulic fluid levels if applicable.c Ensure appropriate cutting fluid placement and mixratios as applicable per machine, cutting fluid, andblade manufacturer’s recommendations.c Break in blade properly before reaching desiredcutting rates.53
