Starrett 14102 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14102 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting in metalworking and fabrication shops. The blade measures 10 feet 5 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.032 inches and a constant-pitch configuration at 14 teeth per inch. Both the blade body and tooth material are carbon steel with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, giving the blade a balanced cut pattern suited to a range of materials. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators install this blade on stationary vertical bandsaws for production or repair cutting tasks.

The STARRETT 14102 is rated for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile choice for metal fabrication shops, HVAC sheet-metal operations, and general trade use. The constant pitch at 14 TPI is well matched to moderate-thickness stock in both ferrous and non-ferrous applications. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without fatiguing prematurely under normal operating cycles.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and teeth
• 14 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load across a range of material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form for balanced, accurate cuts
• Flexible back type reduces fatigue and extends blade service life
• Contour cutting capable for non-linear and curved cuts
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed for vertical bandsaws accepting a blade measuring 10 feet 5 inches in length, 0.75 inches in width, and 0.032 inches in thickness. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearance against the saw manufacturer specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully de-energized and unplugged before beginning. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment according to the saw manufacturer guidelines before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, and inspect blade welds and tooth set before mounting. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements for stationary bandsaw equipment.
