The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced a new line of carbide tipped band saw blades named Advanz™. The new blade line offers a special tooth tip cylinder of high quality sub-micron grain carbide with a triple-chip grind, welded to a tough, ductile back. These new blades also feature superb carbide-to-back bonding and offer exceptional fatigue, shock, wear and strip resistance when cutting difficult-to-machine materials.

“Advanz carbide tipped blades provide faster, smoother, cost-effective production cutting on a wide variety of difficult to machine materials,” says Greg Cook, saw division director.

Starrett Advanz Blades are available in “FS” and “TS” configurations. FS is designed for a range of difficult to cut materials such as fiberglass, masonite, plastics, composites, aluminum castings, and abrasive wood. TS features a special tooth profile for efficient cutting of very difficult to machine steels including high-alloy metals, titanium, stainless steel, and inconel. The new carbide tipped line includes a wide range of thicknesses from 3/4" x .035" to 3 1/8" x .063", in a complete range of positive rake pitches. Available lengths include 100′, 150′ coils, and welded-to-length on 2 5/8" x .063" and 3 1/8" x .063 blades.

In addition to being the world’s pre-eminent manufacturer of precision measuring tools and equipment, Starrett is also a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of band saw blades, hacksaw blades, hole saws, jig/reciprocating blades, and specialty saw products.
