Starrett 12664 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 12664 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop installation on stationary band saws in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general shop environments. The blade measures 10 feet 10.5 inches in overall length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a constant-pitch, 10 TPI raker tooth configuration. The straight tooth form and flexible back construction allow controlled contour cutting across a range of material types. Licensed trades and shop technicians rely on this blade for consistent performance in production and maintenance settings.

This blade is suited for cutting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood, making it a versatile choice for light industrial shops, HVAC fabrication benches, and plumbing or electrical trade shops that require occasional metal or plastic stock cuts. The constant 10 TPI pitch provides a balance between cut speed and finish quality on medium-thickness stock. It is packaged as a single welded loop, ready to mount on compatible band saw machines without additional joining.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount welded bandsaw blade for stationary band saw machines accepting a 1-inch-wide blade with a 10-foot 10.5-inch loop length. Verify blade length, width, and thickness against machine specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade changes should be performed by qualified shop personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension and tracking adjustments must be set according to the band saw manufacturer's specifications. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or freshly removed bandsaw blades. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before mounting a new blade.
