Starrett 12792 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 12792 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in stationary bandsaw machines. The blade measures 7 feet 11 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a 0.025-inch thickness and a constant 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) pitch. Constructed from carbon steel throughout — blade body and tooth material — it features a raker tooth set, straight tooth form, and a flexible back. This combination suits metal fabrication shops, woodworking facilities, and general trade environments where a reliable fixed-pitch blade is required for consistent material removal.

The 12792 is suited for contour cutting applications and handles a broad range of materials including ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The straight tooth rake angle and constant pitch pattern make it a practical choice for production cutting where predictable feed rates and uniform chip load are priorities. It is typically installed on floor-standing or bench-top bandsaw units that accept a 7-foot 11-inch blade loop. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and fabrication technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series construction with full carbon steel blade body and tooth material
• Constant 10 TPI pitch for uniform chip load across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form for balanced cutting action
• Flexible back design reduces blade fatigue during contour cutting passes
• Contour cutting capable — suitable for curved and irregular cut profiles
• Multi-material application: ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement blade for stationary bandsaw machines accepting a 7-foot 11-inch blade with a 0.5-inch width and 0.025-inch thickness profile.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment after installation before resuming operation. Always confirm the receiving saw accepts the 0.5-inch blade width before mounting. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or unpackaged blade stock.
