Starrett 15033 Welded Bandsaw Blade 18ft 6in 3/4in 3TPI

Product Description

The STARRETT 15033 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary bandsaws. The blade measures 18 feet 6 inches in length and 3/4 inch wide, with a blade thickness of 0.032 inches and a constant-pitch tooth pattern at 3 TPI. Both the blade body and teeth are carbon steel construction with a flexible back type, making this blade suitable for contour cutting applications. HVAC fabricators, metal shop technicians, and general trade professionals install this blade on compatible bandsaw machines requiring an 18 foot 6 inch loop.

This blade is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The hook tooth form with a positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip clearing on softer and medium-density materials. The raker tooth set distributes cutting forces evenly across the blade width, reducing deflection during contour cuts. It is well-matched to light fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, and production environments where consistent straight or contour cuts are required across mixed material types.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel blade with flexible back for contour cutting capability
• 3 TPI constant pitch with hook tooth form and positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient cutting
• Raker tooth set for balanced cutting force and reduced blade deflection
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood material applications
• Welded loop construction at 18 feet 6 inches for direct drop-in replacement on compatible machines

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines accepting an 18 foot 6 inch blade loop, 3/4 inch wide, 0.032 inches thick, at 3 TPI. Verify blade length, width, thickness, and TPI requirements against your machine specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with stationary bandsaw equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension and blade guide alignment per the machine manufacturer specifications after installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop.
