The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced a line of multi-purpose band saw blades named Versatix MP.
It features an exclusive new tooth design that is ideal for interrupted cutting applications in structural steels, tubes and small solids. The new, patent-pending design, developed and tested by Starrett, dissipates heat exceptionally during cutting to substantially minimize tooth breakage and maximize saw blade life. In controlled load tests designed to initiate tooth strippage, Versatix MP outperformed competitive blades by up to 50 percent, the company says.
