Starrett 10457 Welded Bandsaw Blade 93in 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10457 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in metalworking and general fabrication applications. It measures 93 inches in overall length and 0.5 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The blade runs at 10 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and raker tooth set, delivering consistent chip clearance and smooth, straight cuts. The flexible back type allows the blade to run on standard bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking under typical operating cycles. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and fabrication trades rely on blades like this for precise material removal.

This blade is suited for contour cutting on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The straight tooth form and raker set make it a practical choice for general-purpose shop use where a single blade handles varied stock. It fits bandsaw machines configured for a 93-inch blade loop and is sold as a single welded blade ready to install.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• 10 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load across varied stock thickness
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form for efficient chip clearance
• Flexible back type reduces fatigue and extends blade service life
• Contour cutting capable across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Pre-welded loop ships ready to mount — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for machines accepting a 93-inch blade loop with a 0.5-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting a new one. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the saw match the 93-inch loop length and 0.5-inch blade width before tensioning. Follow the machine manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures — do not exceed the saw's rated blade tension specification.
