The blade measures 130.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel back with high-speed steel teeth, giving the blade durability under continuous production cutting loads. A raker tooth set and positive rake angle improve chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup during deep cuts in structural steel, tubing, and bar stock. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metal fabricators rely on this blade for precision contour-free straight cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 13687 is suited for professional metalworking and industrial maintenance applications where consistent, clean cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous stock are required. Typical installations include production band saw machines in fab shops, maintenance facilities, and mechanical contractor shops. The variable pitch TPI range of 6 to 10 addresses a broad cross-section of material thicknesses, making it practical for shops cutting a mix of solid bar, angle iron, pipe, and sheet metal without frequent blade changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back for extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and handles varied material cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle and raker tooth set promote aggressive chip clearing and cooler cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded loop blade at 130.5 inches fits standard band saw machines requiring that wheel-to-wheel dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals in a single blade specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntenss PRO series construction targets professional and production-grade cutting demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded band saw blade for horizontal and vertical band saw machines accepting a 130.5-inch blade loop, 1-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness.

Set blade tension and tracking per the band saw manufacturer specifications before running under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the welded loop can spring unexpectedly during uncoiling. Inspect blade guides, wheel brushes, and coolant delivery before placing a new blade into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 to 10 variable pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13687\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543372464434,"sku":"13687","price":141.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_1b25e7d2-d440-4546-b065-9e64db786ec2.jpg?v=1785917350","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-13687-bi-metal-bandsaw-blade-1-in-6-10-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
