Starrett 14115 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 1 in 6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 14115 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous loop cutting on stationary bandsaw machines. It measures 12 feet in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant-pitch 6 TPI raker tooth configuration. The straight tooth form and raker set deliver consistent chip clearance across a range of materials. At 16.84 pounds, this is a full-size production blade suited for shop environments where reliable, repeatable cuts are the priority. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians are the primary installers and operators.

This blade is built for contour cutting applications on vertical bandsaws in light industrial, fabrication, and maintenance shop settings. The Duratec SFB series targets versatile, general-purpose cutting across ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. It is appropriate for both production runs and one-off cuts where a consistent pitch blade performs well across varying stock thicknesses. The flexible back type helps the blade track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without premature fatigue cracking.

Key Features

• 12-foot welded loop — ready to mount with no field joining required
• 6 TPI constant pitch for steady chip load across mixed materials
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Flexible back construction extends fatigue life through repeated wheel flexing
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material — suitable for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Straight tooth rake angle for consistent, controlled cutting geometry

Compatibility

Designed for stationary vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot, 1-inch-wide blade. Confirmed material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood per manufacturer data.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified shop technician or maintenance professional with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearances match the 1-inch blade width before mounting. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking before resuming operation. Do not run the blade without blade guides properly adjusted, as this can cause premature blade drift or breakage.
