Starrett 14106 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14106 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting in metal fabrication and woodworking applications. Part of the Duratec SFB series, it measures 11 feet 7 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide with a 0.032-inch thickness. The blade runs at a constant 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip clearance and cut quality on a range of materials. Licensed HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and metalworkers rely on this blade type for repetitive contour and straight cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The flexible back design reduces fatigue cracking during demanding cutting cycles.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines used in commercial and residential trade shops. The raker tooth set handles ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile blade for multi-material service environments. It is packaged as a single pre-welded blade, ready to mount without additional joining steps. Tradespeople working in sheet metal, pipe fabrication, or general maintenance shops will find this blade appropriate for high-cycle production cutting on mid-size bandsaws accepting an 11-foot 7-inch blade length.

Key Features

• Constant 14 TPI pitch for consistent chip load and finish across supported materials
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation during ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material in the Duratec SFB series for durability in shop environments
• Flexible back construction reduces stress cracking during contour and radius cuts
• Pre-welded to full length — no field joining required before installation
• Rated for contour cutting across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept an 11-foot 7-inch blade with a 0.75-inch width. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the saw manufacturer's guidelines. Disconnect and lock out all power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate blade tension settings per the machine's specifications — incorrect tension is a leading cause of premature blade breakage. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
