Starrett 10172 Band Saw Blade Coil 0.5 in 250 Ft 24 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 10172 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations where technicians cut blades to custom lengths on-site or in the shop. The coil measures 0.5 inches wide and 250 feet long with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs a constant pitch of 24 teeth per inch with a wavy tooth set and straight rake angle, making it well suited for controlled, clean cuts in a range of materials. The flexible back construction allows the blade to track smoothly through band saw wheels without fatigue cracking during extended use. Trade professionals and maintenance shops rely on coil stock to reduce downtime and keep custom blade lengths on hand.

This coil stock is used in metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication environments where band saw blades must be sized to fit specific machines. The 24 TPI constant pitch pattern is appropriate for cutting thin-walled stock, tubing, and other materials that require a fine, steady cut. The wavy tooth set reduces blade binding and promotes chip clearance in cut channels. Facilities that run multiple band saw models benefit from coil stock because a single coil yields blades for various wheel-to-wheel distances. Licensed machinists and skilled tradespeople perform the cut-to-length and weld operations required to produce finished loop blades from this stock.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction provides durability for general-purpose band saw cutting applications
• 24 teeth per inch constant pitch delivers fine, controlled cuts in thin materials
• Wavy tooth set reduces binding and promotes chip clearance in the cut path
• Flexible back design resists fatigue and supports smooth tracking on band saw wheels
• 0.5 inch blade width and 0.025 inch thickness suit a wide range of standard band saw frames
• 250-foot coil length provides substantial yield for cut-to-length blade production

Compatibility

Designed as a cut-to-length coil stock for band saws that accept 0.5 inch wide blades with a 0.025 inch thickness profile. Confirm wheel-to-wheel distance and blade width capacity on the target machine before cutting and welding loop blades from this coil.

Installation Notes

Cut-to-length and butt-welding operations should be performed by qualified personnel using a blade welder rated for carbon steel stock. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing or installing any blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled blade stock, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard. Follow the band saw manufacturer's tension and tracking guidelines when seating a finished loop blade on the machine.
