Starrett 14601 Portable Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 14601 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade designed for cutting with handheld and portable bandsaw tools used across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical trades. The blade measures 44.875 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a thickness of 0.02 inches. It runs a constant 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a straight raker tooth set and high speed steel (HSS) tooth material bonded to a flexible backer. This combination resists tooth stripout under the variable feed pressure common in portable tool use. Each package contains 3 blades.

This blade suits portable bandsaw applications where tradespeople need to cut conduit, pipe, strut, angle iron, and similar materials in the field. The 14 TPI constant pitch is appropriate for thin-wall tubing and light structural stock. The straight tooth form and raker set produce a controlled cut with manageable chip load. It is a field-replacement consumable carried by electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC installers who use portable bandsaws on the job site.

Designed as a replacement blade for portable bandsaw tools that accept a 44.875-inch by 0.5-inch blade. Confirm your tool's required blade length, width, and thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement should be performed by the operator following the tool manufacturer's tensioning and blade-tracking procedure. Disconnect the tool from its power source or remove the battery before opening the blade guard or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades — the teeth are exposed along the full length. Do not exceed the blade speed rating specified by the tool manufacturer.
