Starrett 13828 Band Saw Blade Coil 0.25in 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 13828 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting applications in shop and field environments. The coil ships in a 100-foot length, allowing tradespeople and fabricators to cut blades to custom lengths for a wide range of band saw models. At 0.25 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick, the blade features a flexible back construction that resists fatigue and cracking during contour cuts. The 6 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch tooth pattern with a raker set delivers consistent chip clearance on a variety of materials, making it a practical stock option for repetitive production cutting or maintenance shops.

This coil stock is suited for metal fabrication shops, HVAC contractors, plumbers, and general trade professionals who cut custom blade lengths on-site or at the bench. The contour-cutting capability makes it appropriate for curved and irregular workpiece profiles. The straight tooth rake angle and straight tooth form support controlled, repeatable cuts in carbon steel, aluminum, and similar materials. It is installed on standard band saw machines wherever the blade width and thickness specifications match the saw's guide and wheel dimensions.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with blade tensioning and guide adjustment procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before handling or installing any blade. Use appropriate blade-coiling gloves and eye protection when uncoiling or cutting stock to length. Follow the band saw manufacturer's specifications for blade tension, guide clearance, and wheel tracking before resuming operation.
