Starrett 13778 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 13778 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in professional shop and industrial environments. The blade runs 11 feet long and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035 inch thickness, offering a balance of flexibility and structural rigidity through its flexible back design. The high-speed steel teeth are set in a raker pattern with a positive rake angle and a variable 6-10 TPI pitch, which distributes cutting load across the tooth profile to reduce vibration and extend blade life. Metal fabricators, pipefitters, and machinists reach for this blade when they need consistent cuts across varying stock profiles and wall thicknesses.

The STARRETT 13778 is suited for use on horizontal and vertical band saws in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The Intenss PRO series designation places it in a performance tier designed for demanding metal cutting applications. The variable pitch tooth pattern makes it effective across a range of ferrous stock including structural steel, pipe, and angle iron, as well as non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper. It is a welded blade, sized and ready to mount without additional joining. Contour cutting is not the intended application for this blade.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 6-10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material cross-sections
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient metal removal
• 11-foot welded length fits standard metal-cutting band saw frames without additional splicing
• Rated for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications
• Part of the Intenss PRO series, designed for demanding production and maintenance cutting environments

Compatibility

Designed to fit band saw machines that accept an 11-foot blade with a 3/4 inch width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and blade length specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Always disconnect power and lock out the machine before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade, as edges are sharp. Confirm proper blade tension according to the band saw manufacturer's specifications before returning the machine to service.
