Starrett 10826 Welded Bandsaw Blade 174 in 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10826 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) in length, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.025 inches thick. The blade runs a constant 10 TPI with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip clearance and controlled cut quality on a range of materials. The flexible back type reduces stress fatigue during continuous operation. This blade is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with horizontal or vertical bandsaw equipment.

The STARRETT 10826 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. Its constant pitch makes it a general-purpose choice for shops that cut a variety of stock profiles and thicknesses in a single blade setup. The raker tooth set distributes cutting forces evenly, making it appropriate for both solid bar stock and structural sections. It fits bandsaws that accept a 174-inch blade with a 0.5-inch width specification.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• Constant 10 TPI pitch for consistent, general-purpose cutting
• Raker tooth set for balanced chip clearance across varied materials
• Straight tooth form and flexible back type to reduce blade fatigue and cracking
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws requiring a 174-inch blade loop, 0.5 inches wide, with a 0.025-inch thickness. Verify your saw manufacturer specifications for blade length tolerance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or mounting a new one. Use appropriate blade guides and confirm proper tracking adjustment before resuming cuts. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for tension setting based on blade width.
