Starrett 10061 Band Saw Blade Coil Stock 24 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10061 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations where custom blade lengths are required. The coil measures 100 feet in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. At 24 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and wavy tooth set, this blade is suited for fine, controlled cuts in metal and similar materials. The straight rake angle and straight tooth form reduce cutting stress and help maintain consistent feed rates. The flexible back construction allows the blade to flex through tight radius contours without fatigue cracking.

This coil stock is used in stationary and portable band saw applications where technicians cut blades to a specified length and weld or clip them into a continuous loop. The 24 TPI configuration is well suited for thin-walled tubing, conduit, small-diameter pipe, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals common in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical trade work. The wavy set pattern distributes cutting load across adjacent teeth to reduce binding and extend blade life in repetitive production cuts.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction for reliable performance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 24 teeth per inch constant pitch for smooth, fine cuts
• Wavy tooth set reduces blade binding and improves chip clearance
• Flexible back design supports contour cutting and tight radius work
• Straight tooth rake angle delivers consistent, controlled feed
• 100-foot coil yields multiple custom-length blades from a single stock roll

Compatibility

Designed as a coil stock supply for band saw machines that accept 0.5-inch wide blades with a 0.025-inch blade thickness; compatible blade length is field-determined by the installer based on saw wheel diameter and machine specifications.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade coil stock is typically cut and joined by an experienced mechanic or tool room technician using a blade welder or mechanical connector sized for 0.5-inch blade width. Disengage and lock out the band saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify the finished blade length against the machine manufacturer's specification before tensioning. Inspect weld joints or mechanical connections for proper alignment before operating the saw under load.
