Starrett 13664 Bandsaw Blade 125 in 3/4 in 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 13664 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in industrial and fabrication shop environments. The blade measures 125 inches in length and 3/4 inches in width with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI. The Intenss PRO series construction pairs a flexible back with high speed steel teeth set in a raker pattern at a positive rake angle, providing aggressive, efficient cuts while reducing blade fatigue and tooth strippage on interrupted cuts or variable-section workpieces.

This blade is suited for metal-cutting vertical or horizontal bandsaws in production and job-shop settings. The variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch helps dampen vibration and distribute cutting forces across varying material cross-sections. It is appropriate for cutting structural steel, tubing, angle iron, aluminum, copper, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous stock. Licensed saw technicians, tool-room machinists, and fabricators typically install and service these blades as part of routine machine maintenance or production changeovers.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for extended blade life
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter on structural and tubular workpieces
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggressiveness and chip evacuation on metal stock
• Raker tooth set provides balanced cutting geometry for ferrous and non-ferrous applications
• Welded loop construction ensures consistent tension and tracking on compatible bandsaw machines
• Intenss PRO series design targets demanding production cutting cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 125-inch blade loop, 3/4-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearance according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Handle coiled blades with cut-resistant gloves; the welded joint and teeth present laceration hazards during uncoiling and threading. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade to avoid premature failure.
