Starrett 14277 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 14277 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It measures 90 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The cutting teeth are made from M42 high-speed steel and configured at 10 teeth per inch in a constant-pitch, raker-set pattern with a positive rake angle. This construction delivers consistent chip clearance and resistance to heat buildup during prolonged metal cutting operations. Licensed contractors, millwrights, and fabricators working with metal stock rely on this blade for straight contour cuts in production and service environments.

This blade is suited for contour cutting applications on both ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. It is part of the Starrett Intenss series, which is designed for demanding metal-cutting tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and mechanical service environments. The flexible back type accommodates the blade tracking and tensioning requirements of standard vertical and horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws. The constant-pitch configuration at 10 TPI is well matched to medium-thickness metal stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on metal
• 10 TPI constant-pitch pattern for consistent chip load on medium-thickness ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Positive rake angle and raker tooth set to improve cutting efficiency and chip clearance
• Straight tooth form with toothed cutting edge rated for contour cutting
• Flexible back type compatible with standard metal-cutting bandsaw wheel geometry
• Part of the Intenss series, engineered for high-demand metal fabrication use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 90-inch blade length, 0.5-inch width, and 0.035-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, fabricator, or qualified maintenance technician should install bandsaw blades. Before installing, power down and de-energize the bandsaw completely and confirm the wheel guides and blade guards are properly adjusted for the blade width. Verify blade tension according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specification for 0.5-inch bi-metal blades. Inspect wheel tires and guide bearings for wear before mounting a new blade.
