Starrett 00062 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 00062 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting in metalworking and fabrication environments. At 14 feet 6 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, this blade installs on floor-standing bandsaws common in shop and trade settings. It runs at 4 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and a raker tooth set in a skip tooth form, a combination that clears chips efficiently and reduces heat buildup during cuts through thicker stock. Both the blade body and teeth are carbon steel construction with a flexible back for consistent tracking and reduced breakage risk.

This blade suits a wide range of cutting applications in production shops, HVAC fabrication bays, plumbing supply fabrication, and general metalworking environments. Its skip tooth geometry and straight rake angle make it effective on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. Contour cutting capability allows operators to follow curved cut lines in addition to straight crosscuts, expanding its usefulness across multiple trade applications.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series welded construction for a strong, consistent joint at the blade weld point
• 4 TPI constant pitch for steady feed rates through varied stock thicknesses
• Raker tooth set with skip tooth form promotes efficient chip clearance and cooler cutting
• Flexible back type maintains blade tracking and resists fatigue cracking on curves
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Straight rake angle delivers controlled, predictable cutting geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for floor-standing bandsaws accepting a 14-foot 6-inch blade length with a 0.5-inch blade width. Confirm wheel size and blade tracking specs on the saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard even when the machine is off. After installation, verify blade tension, tracking alignment, and guard adjustment before returning the saw to service.
