Starrett 10717 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10717 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in metal and non-metal applications. It measures 11 feet 6 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.032 inches. The 10 teeth-per-inch constant-pitch configuration delivers smooth, consistent cuts across a range of materials. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form make this blade well suited for general-purpose contour cutting in production and maintenance environments. Licensed saw technicians and fabrication shop professionals install this blade type on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines.

This blade is rated for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The flexible back design allows the blade to track properly on the saw's wheels and guides under continuous use. It is appropriate for both light production and maintenance-level bandsaw work where a constant-pitch carbon steel blade is specified. The 10 TPI count makes it a practical choice for medium-thickness stock across these material categories.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension and tracking should be set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Inspect blade guides and wheels for wear before installing a new blade.
