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?
