Starrett 10085 Band Saw Blade Coil Stock 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10085 is a band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting applications where shop-cut blade lengths are required. The coil supplies 100 feet of 0.5-inch-wide, 0.025-inch-thick carbon steel blade with a skip tooth form and straight rake angle. At 4 teeth per inch, the blade is suited for coarser cuts through wood, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. The flexible back construction allows the blade to handle the stress of contour cutting without cracking. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades use coil stock to weld custom-length blades sized to specific band saw frames.

This coil stock is appropriate for both shop and production environments where multiple blades of varying lengths are needed from a single supply. The raker tooth set and constant pitch pattern support general-purpose straight and contour cutting. The skip tooth form clears chips efficiently, making it a practical choice for softer materials and faster feed rates. The 100-foot coil provides enough stock to yield multiple blades from one unit.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction provides durability for general-purpose band saw applications
• 4 TPI constant pitch with skip tooth form for efficient chip clearance
• Raker tooth set for balanced cutting performance across a range of materials
• Flexible back design supports contour cutting without blade fatigue cracking
• Straight tooth rake angle for controlled, consistent cutting action
• 100-foot coil length allows shop cutting and welding to custom blade sizes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement coil stock for band saws that accept 0.5-inch-wide blades. Verify your machine's blade width, thickness, and wheel diameter specifications before cutting and welding to length.

Installation Notes

Blade welding and grinding from coil stock is typically performed by a machinist or experienced maintenance technician using a blade welder and grinder. Disengage and lock out power to the band saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Ensure proper blade tension per the saw manufacturer's guidelines and confirm blade tracking before resuming operation. Inspect the weld joint for flush grinding and uniform thickness before running the blade under load.
