CARBIDE TIPPED BLADES FOR SHOCK AND WEAR RESISTANCE
Carbide tipped blades from L. S. Starrett are ideal for cutting alloy metals, difficult-to-machine steels, aluminum castings, masonite, plastics, composites and abrasive wood.

The L.S. Starrett Company's (Mount Airy, NC) Versatix? MP was developed specifically for cutting structural steels, sections, tubes and small solids. The Versatix MP bi-metal blade has a patent-pending tooth design that easily copes with the shock loading conditions associated with intermittent cutting. This blade is also ideal for manual "pull down" band saw machines where there is inevitable variation in the feed rate.
Built in new state-of-the-art manufacturing cells, Starrett's Advanz carbide-tipped blades have a triple-chip carbide tooth selected for its toughness, shock and wear resistance.
The Advanz FS replaces the previous carbide-tipped Type I blade. It is ideal for use as a foundry saw, cutting aluminum castings, masonite, plastics, composites and abrasive wood. Replacing the carbide-tipped Type III blade, the Advanz TS blade was developed specifically for cutting high alloy metals and difficult-to-machine steels.
