Starrett 14090 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14090 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting in trade and production shop environments. The blade measures 98.5 inches in length and 5/8 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.032 inches. It runs at a constant 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip clearance across cuts. The flexible back type reduces blade fatigue during radius cuts and extended run cycles. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-room technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

The 14090 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile blade for general-purpose bandsaw work in residential shop, light industrial, and maintenance environments. The constant pitch pattern produces a predictable, uniform cut surface and is well matched to straight or contour cuts through consistent-thickness stock. The raker tooth set moves chips efficiently out of the kerf, reducing heat buildup and blade wear during production runs.

Key Features

• Constant 14 TPI pitch for uniform cutting action across varied materials
• Raker tooth set provides efficient chip clearance and reduced heat buildup
• Carbon steel blade and tooth construction — Duratec SFB series
• Flexible back type extends blade life during contour and radius cuts
• Straight tooth form and rake angle suit general-purpose material removal
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed as a welded bandsaw blade replacement for vertical bandsaws that accept a 98.5-inch blade length and 5/8-inch blade width. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel diameter rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's service manual. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade — the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard at any tension state. Set blade tension and tracking per the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
