Starrett 14096 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14096 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous loop cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines. The blade measures 11 feet 6 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.032 inches. It runs a constant 6 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, providing consistent chip clearance and controlled cutting performance across a range of materials. The flexible back type helps the blade withstand the repeated bending stress of bandsaw operation. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in metal and material fabrication environments.

The STARRETT 14096 is suited for cutting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood, making it a practical choice for job shops and production facilities that process mixed materials. The constant pitch configuration keeps the cut predictable and reduces harmonic vibration during the cut. The contour cutting capability allows operators to follow curved or irregular cut paths in addition to straight cuts. This blade is appropriate for light industrial and professional trade use wherever a 11 feet 6 inches blade loop is required.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• Constant pitch at 6 TPI for consistent chip load and smooth cutting action
• Raker tooth set provides balanced chip clearance suitable for a wide range of materials
• Flexible back type resists fatigue cracking under repeated bandsaw wheel bending
• Contour cutting capable for curved and straight cut applications
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a welded bandsaw blade replacement for bandsaws requiring an 11 feet 6 inches blade loop with a 0.75 inch width. Verify your machine specification for blade length, width, and thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment after installation per the machine manufacturer guidelines. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before fitting a new blade.
