Starrett 13224 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 12ft 10in 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 13224 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade from the Intenss PRO series, designed for professional cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It measures 12 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern at 6 to 10 teeth per inch, with high speed steel teeth set in a raker configuration and a positive rake angle. A flexible back supports consistent tracking under demanding cutting loads. Licensed trade professionals and industrial maintenance technicians rely on this blade for high-cycle metal cutting operations.

The STARRETT 13224 is suited for straight contour and cross-cut applications on ferrous metals such as structural steel, alloy bar stock, and mild steel, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, brass, and copper. It is a strong fit for professional metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and job-site operations using horizontal or vertical bandsaws that accept a 12-foot 10-inch blade loop. The Intenss PRO series is engineered for longer blade life and faster cut rates compared to standard carbon-steel blades.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for durability and break resistance
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI tooth pattern reduces vibration and harmonics during cutting
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting speed on metal stock
• Raker tooth set provides balanced cutting action and consistent chip removal
• Welded blade loop construction eliminates weak points associated with clip-style joints
• Compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications in a single blade configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use in bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot 10-inch welded blade loop that is 1 inch wide. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal stock as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify the machine's blade guides, wheel alignment, and tension settings are appropriate for a 1-inch wide bi-metal blade before starting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Confirm blade tracking before running the saw under load.
