Starrett 14050 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14050 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade engineered for consistent, accurate contour cutting across a range of materials. Part of the Duratec SFB series, it measures 7 feet 11 inches long and 3/8 inch wide with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The 14 teeth-per-inch constant pitch configuration delivers smooth, controlled cuts in ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The flexible back type reduces blade fatigue and breakage during curved or contour cuts. This blade is installed by metalworking professionals, woodworkers, and maintenance technicians using standard horizontal or vertical bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for light-duty to medium-duty contour cutting applications on vertical and horizontal bandsaws in shop, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The straight tooth form with raker set provides chip clearance and consistent feed in both metalworking and general-purpose cutting scenarios. The constant pitch pattern is particularly effective when cutting uniform cross-sections in ferrous and non-ferrous stock, plastic extrusions, and plywood panels. Its compact length makes it a common replacement blade for bench-top and mid-size bandsaw units.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw powered down and unplugged before service. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's guidelines for proper blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearance. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades. Verify blade length and width compatibility with your specific saw model before installation.
