Starrett 13844 Band Saw Blade Coil Stock 1 in 100 Ft 6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 13844 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting applications in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication shops. The coil measures 100 feet in length with a blade width of 1 inch and a thickness of 0.035 inches, giving fabricators the flexibility to cut custom blade lengths for a wide range of band saw machines. The 6 teeth per inch (TPI) constant pitch configuration provides consistent chip load and clean cut quality on solid stock and structural shapes. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form work together to clear chips efficiently during contour and straight cuts.

This coil stock is suited for production and maintenance environments where band saw blades are cut to length on-site. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run continuously over band saw wheels without fatigue cracking under normal operating tension. Typical applications include cutting mild steel bar stock, structural tubing, non-ferrous metals, and plastics in both job shop and light industrial settings. The coil format reduces per-blade cost compared to pre-welded loops and allows technicians to match blade length to any machine wheel diameter.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction suitable for general-purpose cutting on a wide range of materials
• 6 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load and predictable cut finish
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation during extended cuts
• Flexible back design resists fatigue and extends blade service life under continuous band saw tension
• Straight tooth rake angle and straight tooth form for reliable performance on solid and structural stock
• 100-foot coil allows on-site cutting to custom lengths for multiple machine sizes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement coil stock for band saw machines accepting a 1-inch wide blade. Cut to length and welded to fit specific machine wheel configurations in the field.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw blade welding, grinding, and tensioning procedures. Power down and lockout the band saw before removing the existing blade or installing the new one. Use a blade welder appropriate for carbon steel stock and dress the weld area smooth before mounting to avoid wheel damage. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended blade tension and tracking settings for 1-inch blade width.
