Starrett 12699 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 12699 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting on stationary band saw machines. The blade measures 11 feet in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant-pitch 10 TPI tooth configuration. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance and smooth cuts through a range of materials. Installed by machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians, this blade is built for production and job-shop environments where reliable, repeatable cuts are required.

This blade is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The flexible back type allows the blade to run on standard band saw wheels without fatigue cracking during normal operation. The constant pitch pattern makes it appropriate for general-purpose cutting where material thickness is relatively uniform. The 10 TPI count is a versatile choice for moderate-thickness stock across the supported material applications.

Key Features

• 11-foot welded loop length fits common mid-size stationary band saws
• 1 inch wide by 0.035 inches thick carbon steel construction
• 10 TPI constant pitch for general-purpose cutting across multiple materials
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces blade loading
• Flexible back type resists fatigue under continuous band saw operation
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed for stationary band saw machines that accept an 11-foot welded blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and blade tension rating on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the band saw manufacturer specifications before making a test cut. Inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear at the time of blade replacement.
