The coil measures 100 feet in length and 0.5 inches wide with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The cutting edge uses high speed steel teeth in a variable pitch configuration of 8-12 teeth per inch with a raker set and straight tooth form, making it well-suited for cutting a range of materials and cross-sections in a single setup. The body is alloy steel, providing the backing flexibility needed for high-cycle band saw operation. This coil stock is used by fabricators and maintenance technicians who prefer to cut blades to length on-site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coil stock is appropriate for contour cutting applications on vertical and horizontal band saws in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The 8-12 TPI variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and delivers cleaner cuts across varying material thicknesses. The straight tooth rake angle supports consistent chip clearance on both ferrous and non-ferrous stock. Technicians and machinists cut blades to the exact length required for a given saw and weld or clip the ends to complete the blade loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction: high speed steel teeth bonded to an alloy steel back for durability and flex resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 8-12 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across mixed material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-foot coil yields multiple custom-length blades from a single stock unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for contour cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.035-inch blade thickness compatible with standard band saw wheel profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a coil stock for shop fabrication of replacement band saw blades for metalworking band saws accepting 0.5-inch wide blades with a 0.035-inch thickness profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of cut-to-length band saw blades is performed by experienced machinists or maintenance technicians. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Use appropriate blade welding or clamping equipment to join blade ends; verify the weld or joint is dressed flat before tensioning. Follow the band saw manufacturer specifications for blade tension and tracking before returning the machine to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal (High Speed Steel teeth, Alloy Steel back)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoil Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-12 Variable Pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542520496434,"sku":"13980","price":1336.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5d184f392f9c647d6e50ca874a8e951e.jpg?v=1785902731","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-13980-band-saw-blade-coil-stock-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
