Starrett 13108 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft Bi-metal Variable Pitch

Product Description

The STARRETT 13108 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in stationary bandsaw applications. The blade measures 12 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 6 to 10 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible steel back with high-speed steel teeth, delivering durability and heat resistance under sustained cutting loads. Part of the Intenss PRO series, this blade is suited for production environments where consistent performance across a range of metal stock sizes is required. Installation is handled by qualified maintenance technicians or metalworking professionals.

The STARRETT 13108 is built for use in metal-cutting bandsaws handling ferrous metals such as steel and iron, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, brass, and copper. The variable pitch tooth pattern reduces vibration and harmonic noise during the cut, making it well-suited for cutting structural shapes, pipe, tubing, and solid bar stock. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle improve chip clearance and cut efficiency. This blade is appropriate for both job-shop and light industrial production environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI tooth pattern reduces vibration and suits a wide range of material cross-sections
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight tooth form provides consistent, controlled cutting geometry
• Suitable for cutting both ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Part of the Intenss PRO series, designed for demanding production cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement blade for stationary metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 12-foot by 1-inch bi-metal blade with standard 0.035-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

This blade should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Always de-energize and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel diameter and throat capacity on the saw before fitting, and tension the blade according to the saw manufacturer's specifications. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
