Starrett 14623 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14623 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on benchtop and floor-standing band saws. The blade measures 7 feet 9.5 inches in overall length and 0.25 inches wide, with a constant-pitch hook tooth configuration at 4 teeth per inch. Both the blade body and tooth are carbon steel with a flexible back, suited for smooth curve work and straight resawing at moderate feed rates. HVAC fabricators, plumbers, electricians, and general shop tradespeople who cut ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood will find this blade covers a wide range of everyday bench work.

This blade fits band saws with a 7-foot 9.5-inch blade capacity, which is a common size found on 9-inch to 10-inch benchtop and light-duty floor-standing band saws used in trade shops and fabrication environments. The 4 TPI constant pitch and raker tooth set make it a practical choice for cutting mild steel tubing, aluminum extrusions, PVC, and sheet goods in a production or service-shop setting. The hook tooth form with a positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip clearance on softer metals and non-metallic materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified shop technician or trade professional. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before opening the blade guards or changing the blade. Ensure the new blade is tracked and tensioned per the band saw manufacturer's specifications before operating. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
