Identified by two pitch numbers.. pitch is generally regarded as the number of teeth per or 25. Cutting thinner sections requires a finer pitch (more teeth per [25 ]). Thick sections require coarser pitches (less teeth per /25 ). The chart is a good guideline Because the cross section limits in the chart are broad and overlap, choose a coarser pitch if the speed of cut is most important. Choose a finer pitch if finish is most important.

Adjust the feed pressure to about onehalf the normal cutting rate for the first few cuts or for 500 square es (35 sq. cm). Increase to the normal cutting rate. Hard tocut materials such as nickelbased alloys like inconel, hardened steels, tool steels and stainless steels Run the normal surface feet per minute (SFM). Adjust the feed pressure to about threequarters of the normal cutting rate for the first two cuts or for 2575 square es (118 sq. cm), then increase the cutting rate part way to normal for the next few cuts, then increase to the normal cutting rate. NOTe: Always make sure you are removing chips on these type of materials. Starrett Trial Guarantee Purchase any band saw blade recoended by Starrett, and we will guarantee that it will match or outperform your present blade, or your money back. Contact us for further details. Welding Service Bands can be purchased prewelded. Coil stock is also available for your inhouse welding needs. Carbon product 1/ (.5) and bimetal 1/ (.3.7) can be welded on standard welding equipment. Larger width blades should be welded on high speed type welders. 303
