The blade measures 150 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs an 18 TPI constant pitch with a wavy tooth set and straight tooth form, making it effective for clean cuts through thin-walled and solid stock. Both the blade body and teeth are carbon steel. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians on horizontal and vertical band saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 12780 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The constant pitch and wavy tooth set make it a practical choice for production cutting of consistent cross-section stock. Its flexible back type allows the blade to track properly on standard bandsaw wheel configurations. This blade is a solid fit for light manufacturing, maintenance shops, and fabrication environments where a single blade needs to handle a range of materials across different job setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load on ferrous and non-ferrous metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWavy tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life on thin-section cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel blade and tooth material suitable for general-purpose cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type supports proper tracking on standard bandsaw wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capability allows curved and irregular cut paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series construction for reliable performance in shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 150-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width.
