Starrett 13582 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 13582 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, built for continuous cutting in metal-cutting and general-purpose bandsaw applications. The blade measures 115.5 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.032 inches and a constant 10 TPI pitch. Carbon steel construction covers both the blade body and tooth material, making it a dependable choice for production and maintenance shops. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance across a range of material thicknesses, reducing deflection and maintaining cut accuracy over extended use.

This blade is suited for contour cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in both residential shop and light commercial environments. The Duratec SFB constant-pitch design performs across ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood, making it a versatile option for fabricators, HVAC sheet metal shops, and general metalworking operations. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without premature fatigue cracking at the weld joint.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade length specifications against the machine manufacturer requirements before mounting. Blade tension and tracking should be set according to the bandsaw manufacturer guidelines before running the blade under load. Inspect the weld joint for integrity before initial use and replace the blade if any cracking or separation is observed.
