Starrett 14748 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14748 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting across a range of materials. The blade measures 10 feet in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs at 6 teeth per inch (TPI) with a constant pitch and raker tooth set, delivering consistent chip clearance and a straight tooth rake angle. The flexible back construction reduces blade fatigue during curved or contour cuts. This blade is suited for professional cutting operations in fabrication, maintenance, and production environments where consistent performance across multiple material types is required.

The STARRETT 14748 is rated for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile option for shops handling mixed-material work. The constant pitch and raker set are well matched to general-purpose bandsaw work, including structural shapes, bar stock, pipe, and sheet goods. The toothed cutting edge with straight tooth form is optimized for controlled, clean cuts rather than aggressive stock removal. This blade fits standard 10-foot bandsaw wheel configurations common in light industrial and commercial shop settings.

Compatibility

Designed for use on bandsaws accepting a 10-foot blade with 0.5-inch width and 0.025-inch blade thickness. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade tracking alignment before tensioning the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Do not exceed the bandsaw manufacturer's recommended blade speed for the material being cut.
