Starrett 14080 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14080 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in industrial and shop environments. The blade measures 14 feet 7 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs at a constant pitch of 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a straight tooth form and raker tooth set, making it well suited for accurate, consistent cuts in a range of materials. The flexible back type allows the blade to run smoothly on bandsaw wheels without premature fatigue. Weighing 7.61 pounds, this blade is built for repeated use in demanding cutting applications.

The STARRETT 14080 is intended for bandsaw machines used in metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and general industrial settings. Its material application range includes ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The constant pitch and raker set make it a practical choice for contour cutting where consistent chip clearance and blade tracking are important. This blade is typically installed by machinists, fabricators, or experienced maintenance technicians.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and blade guide clearances on the specific bandsaw before installing. Blade tension should be set according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications for the blade width and material being cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade to avoid injury from the toothed edge.
