It measures 12 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. The variable pitch tooth pattern runs 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and chatter during the cut. High speed steel teeth are electron-beam welded to a flexible alloy steel back, combining edge hardness with backbone toughness. Licensed metalworking technicians and tool room machinists are the primary installers and users of this blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13689 is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting in production and job-shop environments. The variable 6-to-10 TPI pitch and positive rake angle make it effective across a range of cross-sections, from thin-wall tubing to solid bar stock. The raker tooth set provides efficient chip clearance on structural steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials. It is a welded blade supplied as a single loop, ready to mount directly on machines with matching wheel and guide specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction: high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varied stock sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set delivers consistent chip evacuation during straight cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back type resists fatigue cracking under continuous bandsaw wheel flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntenss PRO series designed for demanding production cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-mount welded bandsaw blade replacement for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 12-foot 6-inch loop, 1-inch width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness.
