Starrett 14053 Welded Bandsaw Blade 93in 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14053 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary band saws in fabrication, metalworking, and light industrial applications. The blade measures 93 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs a constant 6 TPI pitch with a straight tooth form and raker tooth set, making it a reliable choice for controlled, consistent cuts in a range of materials. Licensed trades and shop technicians handling production cutting work install this blade as a direct replacement or fresh build-out on compatible band saw machines.

The STARRETT 14053 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The constant 6 TPI pitch performs well across this range of materials, delivering smooth chip removal and predictable feed rates. The raker tooth set distributes cutting load evenly across the blade width, which reduces blade deflection during contour cuts. This blade is a practical option for job shop environments where multiple material types run on a single machine, and where consistent blade geometry is needed to minimize setup time between cuts.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction — blade body and teeth both carbon steel
• Constant 6 TPI pitch for predictable feed and chip clearance across varied materials
• Raker tooth set reduces deflection and distributes cutting load evenly
• Straight tooth form for clean, controlled cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastic, and plywood
• Flexible back type supports contour cutting applications
• Welded construction for ready-to-install fit on compatible band saws

Compatibility

Designed for use in stationary band saws that accept a 93-inch blade with a 0.5-inch width. The material application range includes ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service documentation. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade — the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard even when the machine is off. Verify blade tracking and tension after installation before returning the saw to service.
