Starrett 00059 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 00059 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade engineered for continuous contour cutting across a range of materials. Part of the Duratec SFB series, it measures 12 feet in length and 1/2 inch in width with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The 4 TPI constant-pitch skip tooth configuration with a raker set delivers aggressive chip clearance, making it well suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The flexible back type resists fatigue during extended cuts. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and shop technicians maintaining vertical or horizontal bandsaw equipment.

This blade fits bandsaws requiring a 12-foot welded loop. The skip tooth form and straight rake angle perform reliably when cutting aluminum, mild steel, plastic sheet, and engineered wood products. The constant pitch pattern provides consistent feed and reduces vibration during the cut. It is appropriate for both production and job-shop environments where a general-purpose blade is needed across multiple material types without frequent blade changes.

Key Features

• 12-foot welded loop length fits standard bandsaw wheel configurations requiring that circumference
• 1/2 inch blade width at 0.025 inches thickness for a balance of flexibility and tracking stability
• 4 TPI constant pitch skip tooth design promotes chip clearance in softer and mixed materials
• Raker tooth set reduces cutting resistance and heat buildup during extended operation
• Flexible back type absorbs stress through wheel bends, extending blade service life
• Compatible material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot blade loop with 1/2 inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and throat clearance match the 12-foot loop before mounting. Tension and track the blade according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications before making a cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade.
