Starrett 00063 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 00063 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop installation on vertical and horizontal bandsaws. The blade runs 12 feet in total loop length, measures 1 inch wide, and carries a 0.035-inch thickness with a constant 14 TPI pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance across a broad range of materials. Licensed trades and production machinists rely on this blade for repetitive straight and contour cuts where a predictable, constant-pitch geometry is preferred over variable-pitch alternatives.

This blade is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, covering a wide cross-section of shop and fabrication work. The flexible back construction allows it to track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking under normal operating tension. It is a practical choice for metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct fabrication, plumbing supply rooms, and general mechanical shops running standard two-wheel bandsaw equipment. Contour cutting is supported by the 1-inch width, which allows moderate radius work while maintaining lateral stiffness.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel blade with consistent 14 TPI constant-pitch geometry
• Raker tooth set for efficient chip evacuation on metals and non-metals
• Straight tooth form and straight rake angle for clean, predictable cuts
• Flexible back type resists fatigue cracking during continuous operation
• Supports contour cutting in addition to straight cuts
• Compatible material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed as a welded loop replacement blade for standard two-wheel bandsaws requiring a 12-foot blade with a 1-inch wide by 0.035-inch thick profile. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's safety procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the guard or handling the blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's specification after installing the loop. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or loop blades, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting.
