A line of multi-purpose band saw blades named Versatix MP, feature an exclusive tooth design that is ideal for interrupted cutting applications in structural steels, tubes, and small solids. The design dissipates heat exceptionally during cutting to substantially minimize tooth breakage and maximize saw blade life.
Versatix blades are also well suited for manual pull-down band saw machines where uncontrolled feed rates can easily overload the teeth with a standard blade.
Starrett Versatix MP Blades feature triple-tempered M-42 cobalt high-speed steel teeth, electron-beam welded to a fatigue-resistant alloy steel backing strip. Versatix blades up to 1 in. utilize patented Starrett bi-metal unique technology for stronger, longer-lasting, and faster-cutting blades.
The line includes a wide range of sizes and thicknesses from 0.75 x .035 in. (19 x .90 mm) to 2-5/8 x .063 in. (67.5 x 0.62 mm), in a complete selection of variable, positive-rake pitches from 2-3 to 6-10P. Versatix is also available in coil lengths including 150 ft for 1.5 and 2 in. (45 m for 41 and 54.5 mm) sizes and 250 ft for 0.75 to 1.25 in. (76 m for 19 to 34 mm) sizes, and welded-to-length on 2-5/8 x .063 in. (67.5 x 0.62 mm) blades.
