Part of the Intenss PRO series, it measures 13 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. The variable pitch tooth design ranging from 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts, improving surface finish and extending blade life. The high speed steel teeth are set in a raker pattern with a positive rake angle, delivering aggressive, efficient stock removal through ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as professional fabricators rely on blades of this caliber for structural steel, tubing, and bar stock cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 13691 is suited for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 13 foot 6 inch blade. Its bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel back with high speed steel teeth, making it appropriate for production cutting of ferrous metals such as mild steel, stainless, and alloy steel, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, copper, and brass. The variable pitch pattern makes it a practical choice across a range of cross-sections and wall thicknesses without requiring a blade change between jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and chatter for smoother cuts and longer blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back via bi-metal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, consistent stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form optimized for contour-free, production-style straight cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals in a single blade configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a continuous loop ready to install on the saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 13 foot 6 inch blade length with a 1 inch blade width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA qualified maintenance technician or machinist should install bandsaw blades following the saw manufacturer's instructions. Power down and lock out the bandsaw at the main disconnect before opening the blade guard or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade — the teeth are sharp and the blade can spring open unexpectedly. Verify blade tension and blade guide alignment after installation and before resuming cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 feet 6 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\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 13691\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544646418738,"sku":"13691","price":161.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_1fdc9bb5-705c-4034-a06e-a67525452b56.jpg?v=1785932499","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-13691-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
