Starrett 00071 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 00071 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 8 feet 2.5 inches in length and 0.75 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.032 inches. The blade runs at a constant 10 teeth per inch (TPI) with a straight tooth form and raker tooth set, delivering consistent chip clearance across a range of materials. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as industrial maintenance technicians rely on blades like this for cutting pipe, conduit, structural metal, and plastic stock.

This blade is suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting, as well as plastic and plywood applications. The raker tooth set and flexible back construction make it effective for contour cuts and curved profiles on horizontal and vertical bandsaw equipment. It is a single-blade package intended for professional shop use where consistent, repeatable cuts are required across varied material types including steel, aluminum, copper, and thermoplastics.

Key Features

• Constant 10 TPI pitch for consistent chip load across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces blade drift
• Straight tooth form with 0.032-inch blade thickness for rigid, controlled cuts
• Flexible back construction allows contour and curved cutting
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material for reliable performance on general-purpose cutting tasks
• Welded construction for continuous loop operation on standard bandsaw equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade compatible with horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 0.75-inch wide, 8-foot 2.5-inch loop blade. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. After installation, verify blade tracking and tension per the saw manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation.
