The Starrett Story

Flex-Back Band Saw Blades

Flex-Back Band Saw Blades

Wood and Metal Cutting ... Flex-Back, made from carbon steel with a flexible back, is recommended for general purpose cutting at an attractive cost on easy-to-machine ferrous metal. It has an excellent fatigue factor to give long life on machines running at a high Surface Feet Per Minute (SFM), cutting non-ferrous metal and wood (not recommended above 10,000 SFM [3,000 m]). Its flexible feature is also suitable for absorbing contour cutting stresses.

Benefits

  • Economical, general purpose cutting
  • Can be welded on standard welding equipment
  • The greatest variety of widths, thicknesses and tooth shapes to suit any purpose
  • Ideal for both contour and straight cutting

Applications

  • Light to medium, vertical and horizontal machines
  • Low alloy, non-ferrous metal
  • Furniture, composition board
  • Plastics of numerous types
  • Non-ferrous foundry materials Blades are furnished welded in convenient lengths all ready to use. Coils are also furnished in 100` (30 m) lengths and 250` and 500` (76 and 152 m) random lengths as listed.

Tooth Rake, Shape And Pitch Selection

  • Rake: Choose the rake based on the material/shape to be cut.
  • Shape:
    • Regular: Conventional tooth for general purpose sawing, straight zero rake.
    • Hook: 10° positive rake for fast cutting of non-ferrous metals and non-metallics.
    • Skip: Zero rake, widely spaced teeth and shallow gullets for cutting large sections.
  • Pitch
    • Constant: Usually for general purpose cutting.
