Starrett 14505 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14505 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary bandsaw machines. The blade measures 13 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant-pitch 6 TPI tooth configuration. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance during cuts through a range of materials. Weighing 20.97 pounds, this blade is suited for production and shop environments where reliable, repeatable cuts are required. Licensed technicians and skilled tradespeople handling metal fabrication, woodworking, or plastics processing are the primary installers.

The STARRETT 14505 is rated for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication shops, HVAC duct fabrication, metal service centers, and maintenance shops. The constant-pitch pattern at 6 TPI is well matched to medium-thickness stock where a balance of cut speed and finish quality is needed. The flexible back type accommodates the blade guides and wheel geometry found on standard industrial bandsaws.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement or new-install bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines accepting a 13-foot 6-inch loop, 1-inch wide blade with 0.035-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with machine guarding requirements. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing clearance per the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or looped blade.
