Starrett 12924 Welded Bandsaw Blade 92in 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 12924 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting applications across a range of materials. The blade measures 92 inches long and 0.25 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs at a constant pitch of 4 teeth per inch and features a skip tooth form with a raker set and straight rake angle. Both the blade body and tooth material are carbon steel with a flexible back type. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and woodworking or metalworking technicians on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines.

The STARRETT 12924 suits light to medium-duty cutting in shop and production environments. Its skip tooth geometry and raker set make it well-suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The 4 TPI constant pitch provides a balance between cut speed and surface finish appropriate for general-purpose contour work. It is commonly found in job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication shops where one blade must handle multiple material types.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement is typically performed by a machinist or qualified shop technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify blade tension and tracking per the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade during installation.
