Starrett 13665 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 13665 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in professional shop and trade environments. Measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, it runs at 0.035 inches thick on flexible back construction. The blade is part of the Intenss PRO series and uses a variable pitch pattern of 6 to 10 teeth per inch (TPI) with high speed steel teeth, a raker tooth set, and a positive rake angle. These design choices reduce vibration and heat buildup during cuts through structural steel, pipe, and bar stock. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users.

The STARRETT 13665 is suited for metal-cutting bandsaw applications in residential shops, commercial fabrication facilities, and mechanical trade environments. The variable pitch tooth form is effective on a wide range of ferrous metals including mild steel and structural profiles, as well as non-ferrous materials such as aluminum and copper. Contour cutting is not an application for this blade. The blade is sold as a single welded unit ready for installation on compatible horizontal or vertical bandsaws accepting a 0.75-inch-wide blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on metal stock
• Variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Raker tooth set maintains consistent kerf width throughout the cut
• Flexible back construction reduces fatigue cracking on bandsaw wheels
• Welded blade arrives ready to mount with no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fit for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 0.75-inch-wide blade with a length of approximately 10 feet 10.5 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or trade professional familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify wheel guides and blade guides are adjusted to the correct width before operating. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning specifications for blade width and material type.
