It measures 93 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The cutting edge features 10 teeth per inch at a constant pitch with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle. Tooth material is M42 high speed steel, which provides heat and wear resistance when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The flexible back construction reduces blade fatigue and breakage during extended use. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and general trade shops will find this blade suited to production cutting on standard vertical or horizontal band saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 14278 is built for contour and straight cutting in metal shop environments. Its constant pitch and raker set make it effective on ferrous metals such as mild steel, structural steel, and pipe, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper. The M42 tooth material handles interrupted cuts and scale without rapid dulling. It is a practical choice for pipe fabricators, HVAC sheet metal shops, and general metalworking facilities running production volumes that justify a welded-loop blade over a coil stock blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended tooth life on metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant pitch at 10 TPI delivers consistent chip load across the full cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back resists fatigue cracking during long production runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved or irregular workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for band saws accepting a 93-inch loop blade at 0.5 inches wide and 0.035 inches thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate blade guides and wheel brushes to clear metal chips before seating the new blade. Verify blade tension and tracking at low speed before resuming production cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 93 inches (7 feet 9 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Constant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14278\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542009479474,"sku":"14278","price":87.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_19055713-d4d1-4974-92eb-2f0d2e4b4688.jpg?v=1785889460","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-14278-welded-bandsaw-blade-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
