Starrett 00061 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 00061 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting operations on stationary band saws. The blade measures 9 feet 10 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.025 inches and a constant-pitch tooth configuration set at 14 teeth per inch. The M42 material grade and raker tooth set deliver consistent chip clearance and straight cutting geometry across a range of materials. This blade is suited for professional shop environments and is installed by machinists, fabricators, and millwrights performing contour and straight cuts on production or job-site band saws.

The 00061 is appropriate for use in metal fabrication, woodworking, and plastics processing environments. Its material application range covers ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile blade for shops that cut multiple material types without frequent blade changes. The constant pitch and straight tooth rake angle make it well suited for uniform stock removal on consistent material thicknesses rather than variable or interrupted cuts.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction with M42 material grade for extended blade life
• 14 TPI constant-pitch configuration for smooth, consistent chip load
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form optimized for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Flexible back type for use on standard contour band saw wheel configurations
• Contour cutting capable for curved and profile cutting applications
• Welded construction eliminates mechanical joints for continuous, vibration-reduced cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for band saws accepting a 9 foot 10 inch blade length with a 0.5-inch blade width and 0.025-inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified shop personnel with the band saw fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearance match the blade width of 0.5 inches before mounting. Tension the blade per the saw manufacturer's specification using the machine's built-in tension indicator. Inspect blade tracking and guide alignment before returning the saw to service.
