Starrett BM1014 Bi-Metal Band Saw Blade, 1/2-Inch Width, 10-14 TPI

Starrett

Starrett's quality control produces consistent, precisely-set teeth

  • 1/2-inch width, variable 10-14 TPI
  • Bi-metal construction with hardened teeth
  • .020-inch thin-kerf body
  • Starrett precision manufacturing

Pros

  • Starrett's quality control produces consistent, precisely-set teeth
  • Variable 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics compared to single-pitch blades
  • Bi-metal teeth hold an edge far longer than carbon steel
  • Starrett is a precision measurement and blade manufacturer trusted across metal and wood shops

Cons

  • Marketed primarily as a portable band saw blade -- check width and length against your stationary saw's wheels
  • Fine 10-14 TPI is slower than a 4-6 TPI blade for thick resaw cuts
