Starrett 13180 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 13180 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary bandsaws in shop and trade environments. The blade measures 80 inches long and 0.125 inches wide with a thickness of 0.025 inches. At 14 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and raker tooth set, it delivers controlled, consistent cuts across a range of materials. The straight tooth form and flexible back type make it well suited for curved and intricate cuts. Licensed machinists, metal fabricators, and general shop technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade type.

The STARRETT 13180 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. It is intended for use on horizontal or vertical bandsaw machines that accept an 80-inch blade. The constant pitch pattern and raker set make it a practical choice for production shops and maintenance facilities where consistent material removal and blade longevity matter. Its 14 TPI configuration handles light to medium stock removal on the listed materials without sacrificing cut quality.
