Starrett 14074 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14074 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary band saws. It measures 98 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The blade runs a constant 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, making it well suited for controlled cuts in a variety of materials. The flexible back type reduces fatigue cracking during operation. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and skilled tradespeople who require reliable performance across repeated cuts.

The STARRETT 14074 is intended for contour cutting applications in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The constant pitch and raker set deliver consistent chip clearance and cut quality across these material types. It is a practical choice for shop environments where one blade handles a rotating mix of stock materials, minimizing blade change frequency on general-purpose band saws.

Key Features

• 98-inch welded loop length fits standard band saw frames requiring this throat capacity
• 0.5-inch blade width supports contour cutting with adequate beam strength
• 14 TPI constant pitch provides smooth, consistent cuts in thin to medium stock
• Raker tooth set with straight form promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Flexible back construction reduces stress cracking during continuous operation
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material — suitable for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed for band saws accepting a 98-inch welded blade loop at 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick. Verify your saw's blade length specification and wheel diameter before installation. Compatible material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood per manufacturer data.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before test-running the machine.
