Starrett 14402 Welded Bandsaw Blade 64in 1/2in 10 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 14402 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting in metalworking and general fabrication applications. The blade measures 64 inches in total length and 1/2 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches and a constant 10 TPI pitch. The raker tooth set with a straight tooth form and straight rake angle delivers consistent chip clearance on straight and contour cuts. Blade and tooth material are both carbon steel. The flexible back design reduces fatigue and breakage during curved or radius cuts. This blade is suited for use by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople who run vertical or horizontal bandsaws in shop environments.

The STARRETT 14402 is intended for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood on bandsaw machines accepting a 64-inch blade with a 1/2-inch width. The constant 10 TPI pitch makes it well matched to thin-to-medium stock where a regular chip load and smooth finish are needed. The Duratec SFB series targets general-purpose shop cutting where carbon steel performance is sufficient and blade economy matters. This blade is a single-unit item with no minimum order beyond one blade.

Key Features

• 64-inch welded loop length fits bandsaws requiring that wheel-to-wheel dimension
• 1/2-inch blade width supports both straight cuts and moderate contour work
• 10 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load on thin-to-medium stock
• Raker tooth set with straight form for balanced chip clearance
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material suited to ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Flexible back construction reduces stress cracking during radius cuts

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 64-inch blade length with a 1/2-inch width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm wheel diameter and blade-path length before installing to ensure proper tensioning. Do not overtension a carbon steel blade, as it increases the risk of premature fatigue cracking. Always confirm blade tracking and guard alignment before returning the machine to service.
