Starrett 14099 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14099 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, engineered for continuous cutting in metal fabrication and general shop applications. The blade measures 176 inches (14 feet 8 inches) long, 3/4 inch wide, and 0.032 inches thick, with a constant 6 TPI pitch and raker tooth set. The straight tooth form and flexible back design reduce blade fatigue during extended cuts. It is installed by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals on horizontal and vertical bandsaws requiring a pre-welded, ready-to-run blade.

This blade is suited for both residential shop and light commercial fabrication environments. The Duratec SFB series is designed for contour cutting across a range of workpiece materials. Typical installation scenarios include production cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws where consistent tooth geometry and a reliable weld joint are required for accurate, repeatable cuts.

Key Features

• Constant 6 TPI pitch for consistent chip load across the full cut length
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form for efficient chip clearance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Flexible back construction reduces stress and extends blade service life
• Pre-welded joint eliminates field welding and allows immediate installation
• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profile work

Compatibility

Designed for use on bandsaws accepting a 176-inch (14 feet 8 inches) blade with a 3/4-inch width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and the blade tension released before removing the old blade. Verify that the blade width and length match the saw manufacturer's specifications for wheel size and blade guides before tensioning. Blade tracking and guide adjustment should be confirmed before resuming cuts. Follow the saw manufacturer's recommended blade tensioning procedure for 3/4-inch blades.
