Spyral Saw Blades

Spyral Saw Blades Deliver Tight, Intricate and Versatile Cuts
Spyral saw blades cut in all directions, even sideways and backwards. They will cut in the direction of the feed pressure, which can make a significant difference when cutting without rigid fixturing. While other wire blades are limited to cutting only certain types of foam or require machinery that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, our Spyral saw blade can cut a greater assortment of materials including foams as well as wood and many metals without requiring costly specialized CNC machinery.

Intenss Bi-Metal Band Saw Blades

Multi-Purpose Band Saw Blades Last Long, Cut Wide Range of Materials and Shapes
Featuring a patented process developed by Starrett called bi-metal unique technology, that provides 170% more weld contact with the teeth, Intenss blades exhibit superior resistance to tooth strippage, significantly reducing fracture and breakage, which enables exceptionally long blade life. Performance is further enhanced by M-42 teeth with a multi-edge tooth design that produces split chips for faster cutting.
