Starrett 14091 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14091 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting operations on stationary band saw machines. The blade measures 106 inches in length and 0.625 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.032 inches. It runs a constant-pitch, 14 teeth-per-inch (TPI) configuration with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, making it well suited for smooth, controlled cuts through a range of workpiece materials. The flexible back type allows the blade to track consistently on the saw wheels throughout the cut cycle. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

The 14091 is appropriate for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications in both production shop and maintenance environments. The 14 TPI constant pitch is a general-purpose configuration that balances cut speed with finish quality across those material types. The raker set distributes cutting load evenly across the blade width, helping to extend service life during contour and straight cuts alike. This blade fits band saws with a wheel circumference or throat capacity compatible with a 106-inch loop.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for stationary band saw machines requiring a 106-inch blade loop in the 0.625-inch width class.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician with the band saw fully powered down and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm wheel spacing, blade guides, and blade tension settings are within the saw manufacturer's specified range before powering the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the uninstalled blade, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during coiling and uncoiling. Inspect blade welds and tooth condition before each use and remove the blade from service at the first sign of cracking or tooth strippage.
