Starrett 13692 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 13692 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Part of the Intenss PRO series, it measures 13 feet 11 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade pairs a flexible steel back with high-speed steel teeth set in a raker pattern at a positive rake angle. A variable pitch of 6 to 10 teeth per inch reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, extends blade life, and produces cleaner kerfs across a range of material thicknesses. This blade is installed and serviced by professional metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and industrial saw technicians.

The 13692 is suited for metal-cutting vertical and horizontal bandsaws requiring a 13-foot 11-inch blade with a 1-inch width. The variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch makes it a practical choice when the workpiece mix includes structural steel, tubing, solid bar, angle iron, aluminum extrusions, and other ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The straight tooth form and raker set deliver consistent chip clearance through the cut. It is a single welded loop ready to install without additional joining hardware.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high-speed steel teeth for long service life on metal stock
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Flexible back material resists fatigue cracking under the bending stress of continuous bandsaw operation
• Straight tooth form with no contour-cutting geometry — optimized for straight stock cuts
• Pre-welded loop; no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 13-foot 11-inch blade with a 1-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal applications as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the saw nameplate before installing a new blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or looped blade. Confirm blade tracking and tension before returning the machine to service.
