Starrett 10693 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10693 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting in metal fabrication, woodworking, and plastics applications. The blade measures 11 feet 5 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.032 inches and a constant 10 TPI pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form produce consistent chip clearance during cuts. This blade is suited for HVAC shops, fabrication facilities, and trade environments where reliable bandsaw performance on varied materials is required. Licensed contractors and shop technicians handling ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood are the primary installers and users.

The 10693 fits vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines that accept an 11 foot 5 inch blade length with a 0.75-inch width. Its carbon steel construction and flexible back type allow it to handle contour cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The constant pitch pattern delivers a steady, predictable cut across all supported materials. This blade is appropriate for light industrial and trade shop use where a durable, general-purpose carbon steel blade is preferred over bi-metal alternatives.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified shop technician with the bandsaw powered off and unplugged before beginning. Verify wheel guides, blade tension, and tracking alignment against the machine manufacturer specifications before running the blade. Inspect the welded joint for cracks or separation before and after initial use. Follow applicable shop safety standards when handling bandsaw blades, as edges are sharp along the full blade length.
