Starrett 10726 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10726 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for consistent, accurate contour cutting across a range of materials. It measures 11 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver controlled chip removal and a clean cut. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly on the bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking during continuous operation. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades working with bandsaws in shop and production environments.

The STARRETT 10726 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The constant pitch makes it a general-purpose choice when a single blade needs to handle varied material stock. It is a practical fit for vertical or horizontal bandsaw setups in light manufacturing, metal fabrication, and woodworking shops where straight and contour cuts are required. The Duratec SFB series targets applications where a reliable carbon steel blade handles moderate cutting loads without the added cost of bi-metal construction.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific bandsaw model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify proper blade tracking, guard adjustment, and blade tension according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Blade handling requires cut-resistant gloves due to exposed tooth edges.
