Excellent carbon blade for industrial cutting

This band saw blade is a game-changer for cutting tools. It has an outstanding carbon quality that allows for efficient cuts through thick materials. It's perfect for industrial and scientific uses that require precision and durability. It's also incredibly easy to install and doesn't require any special tools. The only negative aspect was the price, but the quality makes up for it. Overall, a top-notch cutting tool that I highly recommend.

Pros
  • Accurate and reliable measurements can be obtained with Starrett Duratec Carbon Positive Length.
Cons
  • Prone to wear and tear over time, potentially affecting its precision and longevity.

Sizing Issue

I use a 3 tpi hook to saw through green lathe work pieces and this blade worked well until it expanded to a size larger than my saw could handle. I haven't been able to test the blade well, I measured the blade is 105 and 1/2", my saw needs 105", so the blade must have been miscut at the factory. It may be a regular knife, but I won't buy it again.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled

I wonder why it's too sharp for me to cut wood. Because I kept cutting my hands just from handling it. It causes puncture wounds IF THE WEIGHT OF THE SAW in a lightweight 700mm gang saw. My…
