Starrett 14116 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14116 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting in professional shop and trade environments. Measuring 12 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade runs at 6 teeth per inch (TPI) with a constant pitch and a raker tooth set. The straight tooth form and flexible back type make it well suited for smooth, controlled cuts through a range of materials. Millwrights, fabricators, and shop technicians rely on blades like this for consistent performance in production and maintenance cutting applications.

The 14116 is built for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in industrial and commercial shop settings. Its material application range covers ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood, making it a versatile blade for mixed-material cutting environments. The constant pitch pattern delivers uniform chip load across the cut, which is especially useful when working with sheet goods or solid non-ferrous stock. The welded construction means the blade arrives ready to mount with no field joining required.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• 6 TPI constant pitch with raker tooth set for balanced chip evacuation
• Straight tooth form and flexible back type for contour cutting capability
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications
• Factory-welded blade — no field joining needed, ready to install
• Lightweight at 1.8 pounds, reducing load on bandsaw wheel bearings during operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 12-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade with a 0.035-inch kerf. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide settings match manufacturer specifications for a 1-inch wide blade before resuming operation. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before mounting a new blade. Do not force the blade onto wheels — improper seating can cause premature fatigue or blade failure.
