Starrett BM18 Bi-Metal Unique Porta-Band Blade, 44-7/8-Inch by 1/2-Inch by 0.020-Inch, 3 Pack

Had been using Milwaukee blades. Tried these Starrett blades and I am still on the first one after breaking two of the other brand.

These blades retain their edge longer than any other blades I have used. I usually get a year’s weekly use from each blade before I break one thru inattention. They can be welded.

I normally buy the Milwaukee brand blades but I bought these based on the reviews. I'm not horribly disappointed but they don't last as long as the Milwaukee's. I bought some more of my normal blades and I just left these as emergency spares in the garage.

It fit, it worked, cut some 4 inch square steel tubing

I've been cutting 1/8" to 1" mild steel with these. Of course the tooth count is wrong for the thick steel, but you do what you have to. I'm surprised at how smoothly and quickly these have cut through everything I throw at them, and they seem to be holding up really well. The Milwaukee blades I had before were alright, but these are far superior in comparison.

I've used a number of brands, but these work the best. They cut better and stay sharp much longer. Recommended!

Good buy. We'll worth the price. These blades work effortlessly on my Dewalt portaband saw. I have over 50 cuts in 1/8th inch mild steel tubing on the first blade in the pack and it is still like new.Timely free shipping also. Will definitely buy again.

Quick shipping and excellent blade for my Milwaukee portable bandsaw.
