شفرة المنشار ستاريت (Starret)

The Starrett Hack Saw Blade is a hardened steel blade with precision-ground teeth designed for cutting metal in standard hacksaw frames. It comes in multiple lengths and tooth counts to suit different metals and cut requirements.

Key features include hardened steel for durability, precision-ground teeth for clean cuts, and availability in several lengths and tooth-per-inch (TPI) options to match the material and finish you need.

It is designed for metal cutting, including steel and other alloys. Typical TPI options include 18, 24, and 32 TPI, with higher TPIs giving finer, smoother cuts and lower TPIs cutting more aggressively.

Insert the blade so the teeth point forward toward the handle, align it in the blade slots, and tighten the frame so the blade is taut and straight. Ensure there’s no lateral wobble and the blade sits securely in both mounting points before starting a cut.

For straight, long cuts choose a longer blade (e.g., 12 inches) with a balanced TPI (24 TPI is common for metal). For tighter spaces or finer finishes, consider a shorter blade with a higher TPI. Matching the blade to the material thickness and desired finish yields the best results.

Wear eye protection and gloves, clamp the workpiece securely, avoid bending the blade, and use a steady, controlled feed. Keep hands away from the blade path and never force the blade through tough material.

Use appropriate lubrication for difficult metals, avoid excessive bending, keep the blade clean and free of chips, and store blades in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Replace blades if teeth become chipped or dull.

Starrett blades emphasize precision-ground teeth and hardened steel for durability and clean cuts. Irwin blades are a value-focused option with solid performance, while Bahco blades also offer robust construction and reliable cutting. Availability and exact specs vary by listing, so compare tooth counts, lengths, and material compatibility on each product page.

Yes, these blades are designed for standard hacksaw frames and will fit common 1/2 inch blade cross-sections. Always verify blade width and frame compatibility for your specific tool.

Look for dull or chipped teeth, loss of straightness or waviness in the cut, increased effort to cut, or visible bending of the blade during use. If any of these occur, replace the blade to maintain performance and safety.

Yes. Higher TPI (e.g., 24–32) yields smoother finishes on thinner or delicate metals, while lower TPI (e.g., 18) cuts faster on thicker or tougher materials. Choose based on material thickness, desired finish, and cutting speed.
