Starrett 13667 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Variable Pitch

Product Description

The STARRETT 13667 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 14 feet 8 inches long and 3/4 inch wide, this blade runs at 0.035 inches thick with a flexible back designed to handle continuous cutting cycles without fatigue cracking. The variable pitch tooth pattern spans 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and extending blade life across a range of stock sizes. High speed steel teeth are set in a raker configuration with a positive rake angle, producing aggressive, efficient cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous metals alike. This is a professional-grade blade from the Intenss PRO series, installed by machinists and fabricators running vertical or horizontal band saws in production or job shop settings.

The STARRETT 13667 is intended for cutting ferrous metals such as mild steel, alloy steel, and structural shapes, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, brass, and copper. The variable pitch design makes it well suited for cutting bundles, solids, and structural profiles where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or wear prematurely. It is a common replacement blade for shop band saws requiring a 14-foot 8-inch loop, and it is sized and welded to run without further modification on compatible machines.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for long service life
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI tooth pattern minimizes vibration and improves cut quality on varied stock cross-sections
• Positive rake angle delivers faster feed rates and cleaner chip evacuation on metal
• Raker tooth set provides consistent stock removal and good surface finish
• Flexible back reduces blade stress and fatigue during high-cycle cutting operations
• Cuts both ferrous and non-ferrous metals without blade changes

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for machines requiring a 14-foot 8-inch loop, 3/4-inch width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension, wheel tracking, and guide alignment before returning the saw to service. Blade guards must be repositioned and secured before operation. Inspect blade welds and teeth for defects before installation and do not operate a blade showing cracks, missing teeth, or weld irregularities.
