Starrett 14118 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14118 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, built for continuous cutting in metal fabrication and general shop applications. The blade measures 10 feet 10.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. It runs at 14 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and a raker tooth set, which provides consistent chip clearance and reduces vibration during cuts. The body and teeth are both carbon steel construction with a flexible back and straight tooth form. Licensed tradespeople and experienced shop hands are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is designed for contour cutting applications on bandsaw equipment sized to accept a 10 foot 10.5 inch loop blade. Its material compatibility covers ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood, making it a versatile option for metal shops, fabrication facilities, and general maintenance operations where a range of stock materials must be cut. The straight tooth rake angle suits controlled, consistent cutting across this material range.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Always disconnect power to the saw and verify the blade loop length and width match the machine's specifications before installation. Use appropriate blade guides and wheel guards per the machine manufacturer's instructions. Gloves should be worn when handling blade stock due to sharp tooth edges.
