Starrett 00056 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 1 in 8 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 00056 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary bandsaws in metalworking, fabrication, and general shop environments. The blade measures 12 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant-pitch 8 TPI tooth pattern and a raker tooth set. Straight tooth form and flexible back construction give this blade predictable feed behavior across a range of stock thicknesses. Installation is handled by maintenance technicians, metalworking fabricators, and general-purpose machinists who need a reliable replacement or stock blade for their band saw setup.

The STARRETT 00056 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile blade for mixed-material shops. The raker tooth set is well matched to general-purpose contour cutting and straight cuts in solid stock. The constant pitch at 8 TPI provides a balance between cut rate and surface finish appropriate for moderate cross-sections in the listed material applications. Contour cutting capability is confirmed for this blade specification.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and unplugged before opening any blade guards. Blade tension and tracking must be set according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications before powering the machine. Gloves are recommended when handling the blade loop due to sharp tooth edges. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before mounting a new blade.
