Starrett 10160 Band Saw Blade Coil Stock 1in 250ft 10 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 10160 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations in professional shop and production environments. Supplied as a 250-foot coil, it allows fabricators and maintenance technicians to cut blades to any required length, minimizing waste and simplifying inventory. The blade measures 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick, with a 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch and a raker tooth set. The flexible back construction reduces blade stress during contour cutting and tight-radius work, extending service life in demanding applications.

This coil stock is suited for metal-cutting band saws used in fabrication shops, HVAC and plumbing rough-in work, and general maintenance facilities where carbon steel cutting is routine. The 1-inch blade width and 10 TPI configuration make it appropriate for straight cuts and moderate contour work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The raker set pattern clears chips efficiently in interrupted and continuous cuts. Technicians who need to maintain a stock of ready-to-weld blade segments will find this format practical for high-volume use.

Key Features

• 250-foot coil provides flexibility to cut blades to any custom length
• Carbon steel construction suitable for general-purpose metal cutting
• 10 TPI constant pitch with raker tooth set for efficient chip clearance
• Flexible back reduces fatigue cracking during contour and radius cuts
• Straight tooth form and straight rake angle for consistent, predictable cutting action
• 1 inch blade width supports both straight and moderate contour cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coil stock for band saw machines that accept 1-inch blade width. Verify blade thickness and width specifications against your saw's wheel and guide tolerances before welding and installing.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a blade welder or brazing setup to cut and join segments to the correct loop length for the target saw. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Blade tension and guide alignment should be set according to the saw manufacturer's service documentation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled blade stock, as the edges present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and measuring.
