Starrett 10005 Band Saw Blade Coil 1/8 in 18 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10005 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting applications in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general trade shop use. The coil measures 100 feet in length with a blade width of 0.125 inches and a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. With 18 teeth per inch in a constant pitch pattern and a raker tooth set, this coil delivers consistent, controlled cuts in thin-section materials. The flexible back construction allows the blade to be cut to length and welded to fit a wide range of band saw wheel sizes. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This coil stock is suited for contour cutting on vertical band saws in both production and job-shop environments. The straight tooth form and straight rake angle make it a reliable choice for general-purpose cutting where a consistent chip load is needed. The 100-foot coil length provides enough material to yield multiple blades, making it a cost-effective option for shops that weld their own blades in-house or service multiple machines.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction rated for general-purpose band saw cutting
• 18 teeth per inch constant pitch for consistent chip load in thin materials
• Raker tooth set for balanced chip clearance and straight tracking
• Flexible back design compatible with standard band saw blade welders
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular cut profiles
• 100-foot coil yields multiple blades from a single stock length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coil stock for vertical band saws that accept blades with a 0.125-inch width and 0.025-inch thickness; blade welding equipment required to cut and join to final length.

Installation Notes

Blade coil stock must be cut to the correct length and butt-welded using a band saw blade welder before installation on a saw. Ensure the saw is fully de-energized and the wheel tension is released before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled blade stock. Follow the band saw manufacturer guidelines for proper blade tension and wheel tracking adjustment after installation.
