The blade measures 13 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. It features a variable pitch tooth configuration spanning 6 to 10 teeth per inch, which reduces harmonic vibration during cuts and extends blade life across a range of stock sizes. High-speed steel teeth are electron-beam welded to a flexible alloy back, combining edge hardness with body fatigue resistance. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous metal stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 13690 is suited for production and job-shop cutting of ferrous metals such as structural steel, tool steel, and alloy bar stock, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, brass, and copper. The variable 6-10 TPI pitch pattern makes it a practical choice for operators cutting a mixed range of solid bar, tube, and structural profiles without swapping blades. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle support efficient chip clearance in both light and heavy cross-section cuts. This blade fits bandsaws with a wheel-to-wheel blade path of 13 feet 4 inches.\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 durability and fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6-10 TPI reduces vibration and noise while cutting varied stock profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form and flexible back type support consistent tracking on standard bandsaw wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for both ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-welded loop supplied ready to install — no field welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or upgrade blade for stationary bandsaws requiring a 13-foot 4-inch loop, 1-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tensioning range against your machine specifications before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before removing or installing the blade. Confirm wheel tracking, blade tension, and guide bearing clearance per the saw manufacturer specifications after seating the new blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or looped blade, as tooth edges are sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 feet 4 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: 6-10 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\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\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 13690\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542240002354,"sku":"13690","price":161.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_05be6798-4532-4204-8b32-20a8cd3c12b5.jpg?v=1785896099","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-13690-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
