Bandsaw blades for versatile, reliable cutting across metals, wood and plastics, Starrett Carbon Bandsaw Blades. They give workshop owners the confidence to tackle mixed-material projects without constantly changing blades. Is the weldable, high-carbon construction the most practical choice for long-term use?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Regular 14 TPI teeth deliver consistent straight and contour cuts on a wide range of materials
- • Best for: Small workshops, hobbyists and maintenance teams working with easy-to-machine metals, plywood and plastics
- • Not ideal for: Heavy industrial cutting of hardened steels or high-volume production runs
High-carbon steel construction with a flexible back gives durability and contour capability. Blades can be welded to create custom lengths for light vertical and horizontal machines.
Versatile Cutting Across Materials – Thanks to High-Carbon Steel and 14 TPI Regular Teeth
Special high-carbon steel forms the blade body while regular 14 teeth per inch balance material removal and finish. The tooth pitch suits both contour and straight cutting across metals, wood and plastics.
Predictable cuts reduce the need to swap blades when moving between materials, saving time during mixed-material jobs.
Built for Durability and Longer Service Life – With Special High-Carbon Steel Construction
High-carbon steel increases hardness and wear resistance compared with lower-grade steels, helping the cutting edges retain form through extended use. The flexible back design limits breakage under bending loads.
Fewer replacements and steady performance make routine workshop tasks more efficient and reliable.
Custom Lengths and Fit for Many Machines – Thanks to Weldable, Flexible Back Design
A flexible back allows the blade to bend for contour cutting and the welded construction supports joining ends using standard welders. Welding permits creating loops to match different bandsaw circumferences.
Ability to weld and tailor length enables use on a wider range of saws without hunting for exact factory sizes.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Starrett Carbon Bandsaw Blades
- High-carbon steel – Sustained edge life reduces frequency of blade changes
- Weldable design – Create custom lengths to match different saw circumferences quickly
- Flexible back – Easier contour cutting and less risk of blade fatigue on curves
- Multi-material compatibility – Cuts metals, plywood, MDF and plastics without frequent blade swaps

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these blades be welded to make custom lengths?
A: Yes, blades can be welded with standard welders to create custom circumferences or replace worn sections.
Q: What materials are suitable for cutting with these blades?
A: Suitable materials include easy-to-machine ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plywood, MDF, plastics and cardboard, plus general woodworking tasks.
Q: Are these blades suitable for heavy industrial cutting?
A: No, descriptions indicate suitability for easy-to-machine materials and light vertical or horizontal machines rather than heavy industrial, hardened-metal cutting.
🏆 Our Verdict
Ideal for small workshops, hobbyists and maintenance teams that need a single blade to handle metals, wood and plastics. High-carbon steel construction, regular 14 TPI teeth and a weldable, flexible back make the blade both durable and adaptable. Choosing quality over disposability rewards with fewer replacements and the option to tailor blade length for different saws, improving long-term value.
