Starrett 14064 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14064 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in stationary bandsaw applications. Measuring 65 inches in total length and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025-inch profile thickness, this blade runs a constant 14 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form. The flexible back construction allows the blade to track smoothly on standard two-wheel bandsaw configurations. Licensed tradespeople and skilled shop technicians working with metal, plastic, or wood-based materials rely on this blade for consistent, repeatable contour and straight cuts.

This blade is suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting, as well as plastic and plywood. The constant pitch pattern at 14 TPI makes it a practical choice for general-purpose bandsaw work where a single blade needs to handle varied material types across residential shop, light industrial, or maintenance environments. The raker tooth set provides efficient chip clearance, reducing heat buildup during cuts in denser materials such as mild steel or aluminum bar stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade replacement for stationary bandsaws accepting a 65-inch blade length with a 0.5-inch width and 0.025-inch thickness profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade changes. Disconnect power to the bandsaw and release blade tension fully before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify wheel alignment, guide bearing clearance, and blade tracking before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade coil, and confirm blade tension is set per the bandsaw manufacturer's specification before making the first cut.
