Starrett 00065 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 00065 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on vertical and horizontal bandsaws. It measures 10 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant 14 TPI pitch and raker tooth set. The straight tooth form and flexible back construction make this blade well suited for controlled contour cutting across a range of materials. Installation and replacement are handled by machine operators, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shop professionals who require consistent cut quality and blade durability.

This blade is built for contour cutting applications across ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The constant 14 TPI pitch delivers smooth, consistent cuts in thinner stock and tubing. The raker tooth set provides efficient chip clearance during cuts, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life in production environments. It fits bandsaws configured for a 10-foot 10-inch blade length, which is a common size found in mid-size floor-standing bandsaw units used in fabrication, maintenance, and light manufacturing settings.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearances match the blade width before installing. Tension the blade per the saw manufacturer's specifications and track it on the wheels before closing guards and resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
