At 11 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide, it accommodates a wide range of mid-size vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in metal fabrication and mechanical contracting shops. The blade runs 0.035 inches thick with a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI, allowing it to transition smoothly through varying material cross-sections and reduce harmonic vibration during the cut. The high speed steel tooth construction and positive rake angle are suited for demanding production environments where blade life and cut quality both matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is intended for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including structural steel, aluminum extrusions, copper, and similar shop stock. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form make it effective on solid bar, tubing, and structural profiles. It is a practical choice for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and mechanical contractors who need consistent performance across mixed material jobs. The flexible back type supports operation on contour-capable machines, though this blade is rated for straight cuts only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on metal cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and chatter when cutting varying cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency on ferrous and non-ferrous stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form delivers consistent, repeatable cuts on solid bar and structural profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type supports use on standard bandsaw machines in fabrication and maintenance settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-welded loop construction — no field joining required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on stationary bandsaw machines accepting an 11-foot 6-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Power down and lockout the machine before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing alignment per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming cuts. Handle coiled bandsaw blades with cut-resistant gloves — the teeth are sharp and the stored spring energy in the coil can cause injury during unrolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 feet 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 to 10 variable pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13255\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543359881522,"sku":"13255","price":146.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_c383d606-1e44-40c7-a634-fc46fb48e6f7.jpg?v=1785917078","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-13255-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
