Starrett 10848 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 10848 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop installation on stationary bandsaw equipment. Built from carbon steel with a flexible back, the blade measures 15 feet 8 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width with a 0.032-inch thickness. It runs at 8 teeth per inch (TPI) in a constant pitch configuration with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form. This combination is suited for production cutting tasks where consistent chip clearance and blade tracking are required. Licensed tradespeople and shop machinists are the typical installers.

The 10848 is used in metal fabrication shops, woodworking facilities, and light industrial environments where a general-purpose bandsaw blade is needed. Its raker tooth set and constant pitch make it a reliable choice for straight and contour cuts across a range of materials. It is sold as a single pre-welded loop, ready for direct installation onto compatible bandsaw machines without additional joining.

• 8 TPI constant pitch layout supports steady feed rates and consistent surface finish
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation during cuts
• Flexible back type reduces blade stress during contour cutting operations
• Pre-welded loop construction — no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaws accepting a 15 feet 8 inch loop, 3/4 inch wide blade with 0.032-inch thickness. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's service documentation. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension settings match the specifications for a 3/4-inch-wide blade before startup. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or looped blade.
