Starrett 14547 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 14547 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in industrial and shop environments. Part of the Intenss PRO series, it combines a flexible alloy steel back with high speed steel teeth to deliver durability under demanding cutting conditions. The blade measures 14 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. A variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, resulting in smoother finishes and extended blade life. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and pipefitting shops that process metal pipe and structural stock will find this blade a practical fit for production bandsaw use.

The 14547 is suited for vertical or horizontal band saw machines with a 14-foot 4-inch wheel circumference. Its raker tooth set and straight tooth form make it effective on solid bar stock, tubing, angle iron, structural profiles, and sheet metal bundles. The bi-metal construction handles both ferrous metals such as mild steel, stainless, and alloy steel as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, brass, and copper. A positive rake angle promotes aggressive feed rates while the variable pitch pattern minimizes blade chatter on interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on metal stock
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle supports aggressive, efficient feed rates
• Flexible alloy steel back resists fatigue and cracking under continuous band tension
• Straight tooth form suited for both solid and hollow ferrous and non-ferrous profiles
• Welded loop ready to install — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for band saw machines accepting a 14-foot 4-inch welded bi-metal blade with a 1-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness. Verify wheel spacing and blade guides on the target machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician. Disconnect and lock out the machine from its power source before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades. Set blade tension and guide clearance according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before returning the machine to service.
