Starrett 13863 Band Saw Blade Coil 1in 250ft 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 13863 is a band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous-length blade fabrication and high-volume cutting operations. Manufactured from carbon steel with a flexible back, the blade measures 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick, wound in a 250-foot coil. The cutting edge features 14 teeth per inch (TPI) in a constant-pitch, raker-set configuration with a straight tooth rake angle and straight tooth form. At 10 pounds per coil, this stock is suited to shops and service operations that cut blades to custom lengths for specific saws and applications.

This coil stock is used in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication settings where standard pre-joined blade lengths are impractical or where multiple blade lengths are needed from a single supply. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run on bandsaw wheel diameters typical of both benchtop and floor-standing machines. The 14 TPI constant-pitch layout delivers a consistent chip load and smooth cut finish, making it appropriate for medium-section stock cutting. The raker set pattern provides efficient chip clearance. Contour cutting capability is supported by the blade geometry.

Key Features

• 1 inch blade width with 0.035 inch thickness for stable tracking and controlled flex
• 14 TPI constant-pitch tooth pattern for consistent chip load across the cut
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation during through-cuts
• Flexible back design reduces fatigue cracking on bandsaws with smaller wheel diameters
• Carbon steel construction throughout the blade body
• 250-foot coil length supports bulk blade fabrication and custom sizing

Compatibility

Designed as coil stock for fabrication into custom-length band saw blades for use on bandsaws accepting 1 inch wide blades with 0.035 inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and joining should be performed by a qualified technician using a blade welder, grinder, and appropriate blade-length gauge. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before installing any blade. Verify wheel guides, thrust bearings, and blade tension settings are correctly adjusted after installing a new blade per the saw manufacturer specifications. Follow applicable shop safety practices when handling coiled blade stock, as the spring tension in the coil presents a laceration hazard during uncoiling.
