Review on Starrett Intenss Pro Die Bimetal Neutral by Ryan Hampton

A few years ago I bought an inexpensive Chinese horizontal band saw for home use on hobby welding projects. Working in machine shops, I know the importance of a quality saw blade. It's a great blade and I can do a pretty good job with my cheap saw. In fact, it costs five times what you would pay for a blade you buy from Home Depot, although the comparison is nil. In these places you will find nothing but cheap junk. This blade lasts 20 times longer if a cheap blade goes through steel at all. I bought a Starrett single pitch and multi pitch bimetal blade. I don't normally cut large chunks, although my cheap saw with this blade has helped me cut a lot of pre-hardened 4140 (32 HRC) to 5/8 round and mild steel tubing up to 18 ga. Although I prefer to buy from a local supplier of welding consumables, Revain dealers have good stocks,
