Starrett 14120 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14120 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, built for continuous cutting in industrial and shop environments. Measuring 12 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, it runs at 14 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and raker tooth set. The straight tooth form and flexible back allow the blade to track consistently on standard horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians handling repetitive stock cuts will find this blade suited to sustained production use.

This blade is rated for contour cutting and is appropriate for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. Its constant pitch at 14 TPI makes it a practical choice for general-purpose cutting where material thickness and feed rate are moderate and consistent. The raker tooth set clears chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup during longer cuts. Typical applications include metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and woodworking operations that run a variety of stock materials through a single machine setup.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction with flexible back for reliable tracking
• 14 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load on moderate stock thickness
• Raker tooth set for efficient chip clearance and reduced heat in longer cuts
• Straight tooth form suited to general-purpose contour and straight cutting
• Compatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood cutting applications
• Welded blade construction — no mechanical joint to create vibration or deflection

Compatibility

Designed as a welded OEM-style replacement or direct-fit bandsaw blade for machines accepting a 12-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade in standard horizontal or vertical bandsaw configurations. Verify your machine's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade changes. Power down and lock out the machine at the disconnect before removing or installing the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade — the teeth and edge present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and tensioning. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking guidelines before running the blade under load.
