Starrett 10079 Band Saw Blade Coil Stock 3/8 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The STARRETT 10079 is a band saw blade coil stock designed for professional cutting applications in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general industrial use. The blade measures 3/8 inch wide and 0.025 inch thick, wound in a 100-foot coil that allows shops to cut custom blade lengths to fit a wide range of band saw frames. The tooth configuration is a 4 teeth per inch (TPI) constant pitch with a skip tooth form and raker set, which promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces heat buildup during extended cuts. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run smoothly around band saw wheels without premature fatigue cracking. Carbon steel construction delivers reliable performance for general-purpose contour cutting tasks.

This coil stock is suited for shops that run multiple band saws with varying wheel diameters or throat depths, eliminating the need to stock pre-welded loops in every size. The 4 TPI skip tooth pattern with straight rake angle performs well on wood, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials in both light-duty and production environments. The 100-foot coil length provides enough stock for multiple blade sets and is a practical choice for service departments, fabrication shops, and industrial maintenance operations. A licensed technician or experienced machinist typically handles blade cutting, brazing, or welding to finish individual blade loops from the coil.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting, brazing, or resistance welding should be performed by qualified shop personnel using appropriate blade-welding equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before installing or replacing a blade. Verify correct blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer guidelines before running the saw. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled blade stock.
