Starrett 14056 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14056 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on metal-cutting and general-purpose bandsaws. The blade runs 12 feet 6 inches (150 inches) in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a constant 6 TPI pitch and a 0.025-inch blade thickness. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance across a range of materials, making this blade well suited for production and maintenance shops that cut metal, plastic, or plywood on a regular basis. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople frequently keep blades like this on hand for fabricating brackets, conduit supports, and structural stock.

The 14056 is built for contour cutting on vertical and horizontal bandsaws in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Its flexible back type allows it to track cleanly around tight radii without fatiguing prematurely. The blade is appropriate for cutting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastic, and plywood, giving a single blade the versatility to handle multiple materials in a mixed-trade shop environment. The constant pitch pattern produces a steady, predictable cut without the harmonic variation associated with variable-pitch configurations.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction in both blade body and tooth material
• 6 TPI constant pitch pattern for steady chip load and predictable cut quality
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form for balanced chip clearance
• Flexible back type supports contour cutting and tight-radius work
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Factory-welded loop — no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaws accepting a 150-inch blade loop that is 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and blade width capacity on the specific saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specification before resuming cutting operations.
