Starrett 14282 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The STARRETT 14282 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous metal-cutting operations in industrial and shop environments. Measuring 89 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade fits vertical and horizontal bandsaws sized for that loop length. The 14 TPI constant-pitch tooth pattern delivers consistent chip load across the cut. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides high heat resistance and edge retention when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shop personnel are the typical installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour cutting applications on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals in production and maintenance settings. The Intenss series designation indicates a raker tooth set with a straight tooth form and a positive rake angle, a configuration that reduces cutting force and extends blade life on solid bar, structural stock, and tubing. It is appropriate for residential shop use as well as light commercial fabrication environments where consistent, repeatable cuts are required across mixed metal stock.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended edge life in metal cutting
• 14 TPI constant pitch for smooth, consistent chip removal
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle reduces cutting resistance
• Bi-metal construction with a flexible back for fatigue resistance
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• Compatible with both ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket bandsaw blade for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept an 89-inch blade loop. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal stock.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tracking, blade guides, and thrust bearings are properly adjusted before powering the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades. Do not operate a blade that shows cracks, missing teeth, or weld seam defects.
