Starrett 14276 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The STARRETT 14276 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for consistent, accurate cutting in metal fabrication and industrial cutting applications. At 89 inches long and 0.5 inch wide, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches and a constant 10 TPI pitch, this blade delivers smooth, repeatable cuts through a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The high-speed steel M42 tooth edge offers superior wear resistance and heat tolerance during extended cutting cycles. The positive rake angle and raker tooth set combine to improve chip evacuation and reduce cutting force, extending blade life in demanding shop environments. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, pipefitters, and general metalworkers are the typical end users of blades in this class.

The STARRETT 14276 is suited for contour cutting applications on stationary vertical or horizontal bandsaws in residential shops, commercial fabrication facilities, and trade service environments. The constant 10 TPI pitch is optimized for solid stock and structural sections in ferrous metals such as mild steel and stainless, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum and copper alloys. The straight tooth form and flexible back construction allow the blade to track cleanly around radiused cuts without premature fatigue or cracking at the weld joint.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended edge life and heat resistance
• Constant 10 TPI pitch provides consistent chip load and smooth surface finish on solid metal stock
• Positive rake angle and raker tooth set promote efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting force
• Flexible back design resists fatigue cracking during contour and radius cutting
• Welded blade construction in the STARRETT Intenss series for dimensional consistency and weld integrity
• Compatible with both ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting an 89-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width. Suitable for ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal cutting applications as specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or mounting a new one. Verify that blade tension, guide bearings, and blade tracking are set according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Proper blade tension is critical to weld joint longevity and accurate cut tracking.
