Starrett 14703 Welded Bandsaw Blade 80 in 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14703 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting in trade and production environments. The blade measures 80 inches in length and 0.25 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches and a constant-pitch tooth pattern at 10 teeth per inch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance during cuts. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly on standard bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking under repeated cycling. Licensed trade professionals and fabricators working with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood will find this blade suited to general-purpose contour cutting tasks.

The STARRETT 14703 is used in light fabrication shops, HVAC duct fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and general metalworking applications where a reliable, welded carbon steel blade is needed for curved or contour cuts. Its carbon steel construction and raker tooth configuration handle a broad range of materials including ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile blade for mixed-material shops. The constant-pitch layout at 10 TPI provides predictable feed rates on thin to medium stock.
