❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What materials can this blade cut?
A: Ideal for tool steels, die steels, mold steels, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, and non-ferrous alloys. Perfect for demanding metalworking and fabrication applications.

Q: What does "bi-metal" construction mean?
A: Bi-metal blades combine M-42 cobalt HSS teeth (for cutting hardness) with flexible alloy steel backing (for durability), providing superior performance and longer blade life than standard blades.

Q: What is M-42 cobalt HSS?
A: M-42 is a premium high-speed steel with 8% cobalt content, offering exceptional heat resistance and hardness retention for cutting tough materials like stainless steel and tool steels.

Q: What does 8-12 TPI variable pitch mean?
A: Variable pitch (8-12 teeth per inch) reduces vibration and noise while improving chip clearing and cutting performance across different material thicknesses.

Q: Will this fit my band saw?
A: This blade is 7 ft. 9-1/2 inches (93.5") long and 1/2" wide. Measure your band saw's blade length and check that it accepts 1/2" wide blades before ordering.

Q: What does "triple-tempered" mean?
A: Triple tempering is a heat treatment process that enhances blade toughness, flexibility, and resistance to breakage, extending blade life in demanding applications.

Q: Is this suitable for professional use?
A: Absolutely! Starrett Intenss PRO-DIE blades are professional-grade tools designed for machinists, tool and die makers, and metal fabricators requiring precision and durability.

Q: What is the condition of this blade?
A: Brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged in original packaging. Factory-fresh Starrett quality.
