Starrett 14427 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 14427 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. Measuring 10 feet 11 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade mounts on standard bandsaw equipment where a blade of that loop length is specified. The Intenss PRO series design pairs a flexible alloy steel back with High Speed Steel teeth set in a raker pattern, delivering variable pitch cutting at 6 to 10 TPI. Licensed metalworking technicians, machinists, and fabricators will find the variable pitch reduces harmonics and vibration during cuts, extending blade life and improving cut quality on both ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

The STARRETT 14427 is suited for straight contour cuts through ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals including structural steel, tubing, angle iron, aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, and similar shop materials. The variable pitch tooth configuration handles varying cross-section thicknesses common in production environments, making it a practical choice for job shops and maintenance departments running continuous bandsaw operations. This blade is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 10-foot 11-inch welded loop blade.

Key Features

• Intenss PRO series bi-metal construction with High Speed Steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle improves chip clearance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Straight tooth form supports consistent, repeatable cuts in production and maintenance applications
• Welded loop construction eliminates the need for field joining — installs as a finished blade
• 0.035-inch blade thickness provides a narrow kerf and efficient material removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaws requiring a welded loop blade with a 10-foot 11-inch blade length and 1-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications before running the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop during installation.
