Starrett 14757 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 14757 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting operations on stationary band saw equipment. The blade measures 9 feet 7 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.032 inches. It runs a constant pitch of 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a straight tooth form and raker tooth set, producing consistent chip clearance across the full cutting cycle. The flexible back type supports smooth tracking on standard bandsaw wheels. This blade is installed and changed out by machinists, metal fabricators, and trade shop technicians working with band saw equipment in production or maintenance environments.

The 14757 is suited for contour cutting applications in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. Its raker set pattern makes it a general-purpose choice for shops cutting a range of stock materials without swapping blades for each material type. The constant 14 TPI pitch performs well on medium-section stock where a balance of cut speed and surface finish is needed. This blade fits band saw machines that accept a 9-foot 7-inch welded loop blade.

Key Features

• Constant 14 TPI pitch for consistent chip load across the full cut
• Raker tooth set provides balanced chip clearance on varied materials
• Carbon steel blade and tooth construction for general-purpose cutting durability
• Flexible back type supports smooth wheel tracking and reduced blade fatigue
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular stock profiles
• Multi-material rated: ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed as a welded loop replacement blade for band saw machines that accept a 9-foot 7-inch blade length with a 0.75-inch width and 0.032-inch thickness. Verify wheel spacing, blade guides, and tensioner range on the specific machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw equipment. Disconnect and lock out all power to the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Verify correct blade tension and guide bearing clearance per the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are standard PPE when handling welded bandsaw blades.
