Starrett 12929 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 12929 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade designed for continuous contour cutting in metal fabrication, woodworking, and plastics applications. Part of the Duratec SFB series, this blade measures 8 feet 11 inches in length and 5/8 inch in width with a 0.032 inch thickness. It features a 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch configuration with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, making it well suited for general-purpose cutting where consistent chip clearance and blade life matter. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical tradespeople working with ferrous pipe, non-ferrous fittings, or plastic conduit commonly use bandsaw blades of this type in shop and field cutting operations.

The STARRETT 12929 is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept blades in the 8 foot 11 inch loop length and 5/8 inch width format. Its material application range covers ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile choice for trade shops that cut a variety of stock. The flexible back construction helps the blade track consistently through curved and straight cuts on compatible machines.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lockout the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension and wheel tracking per the saw manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to avoid contact with the tooth edge.
