Starrett 13571 Welded Bandsaw Blade 18 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 13571 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 80 inches long and 0.125 inches (1/8 inch) wide, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches and an 18 TPI constant pitch. The blade is manufactured from carbon steel with a flexible back, making it suited for tight-radius and contour work. Tooth geometry is straight-form raker set, which clears chips efficiently during cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. This blade is sold as a single welded loop ready for installation.

The 13571 is intended for light-duty bandsaw applications where a narrow blade width and fine tooth count are required. Its 18 TPI constant pitch is well-matched to cutting thin-wall tubing, small-diameter bar stock, plastic sheet, and plywood. The 80-inch length fits a range of bench-top and floor-standing bandsaw frames commonly used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light fabrication environments. Installation requires no field welding — the blade ships as a finished loop.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for consistent performance on ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• 18 TPI constant pitch delivers smooth, fine cuts on thin materials and small cross-sections
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Straight tooth form and flexible back support contour cutting operations
• Pre-welded loop — no field welding or blade joining required
• Narrow 0.125-inch width enables tight-radius cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting an 80-inch blade loop in 1/8-inch width. Confirm your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Disconnect power to the bandsaw and release blade tension completely before removing the old blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped bandsaw blades. Verify blade tracking and tension adjustment after installation per the saw manufacturer's specifications.
