Starrett 10440 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10440 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on metal-cutting and general-purpose bandsaws. The blade measures 93 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs a constant-pitch, 6 TPI skip-tooth configuration with a raker tooth set and straight rake angle, making it well suited for moderate feed rates through a range of materials. At 0.05 pounds, the blade is lightweight and sized for smaller benchtop or portable bandsaw frames. Licensed tradespeople and experienced shop technicians are the primary installers for welded bandsaw blades of this type.

The 10440 is built for contour and straight cutting across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The skip-tooth form clears chips efficiently in softer materials while the raker set maintains consistent tracking in metal stock. The flexible back type allows the blade to navigate tighter radius cuts without stress fracturing at the weld joint. This blade suits both production shop use and field service environments where a reliable all-purpose bandsaw blade is required.

Key Features

• Constant 6 TPI pitch for consistent cutting across varied material thicknesses
• Skip-tooth form with raker set for efficient chip clearance and reduced heat buildup
• Flexible back type supports tighter radius contour cuts without weld fatigue
• Carbon steel blade and tooth construction from the Duratec SFB series
• Straight rake angle for controlled, consistent feed pressure
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded bandsaw blade replacement for portable and benchtop bandsaw units requiring a 93-inch blade with a 1/4-inch width. Confirmed material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and unplugged before service. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearances, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before mounting. Blade tracking and tension should be set according to the bandsaw manufacturer guidelines before resuming cuts. Inspect the weld joint for any visible defects before initial use.
