We do alot of bandsaw work and use the 1/16 Starret blade. Its the
smallest they make and we've been having lots of problems. My boss
tells me that till a few years ago they were great but their quality
has really deteriorated. He thinks they are too soft and their heat
treating is sporatic as far as quality goes. The others making these
small blades are even worse he says. SO is he nuts or has their saw
quality gone downhill. Maybe they have them made in China now?
