Starrett 15112 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15112 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting in stationary bandsaw machines. Part of the Duratec SFB series, it measures 7 feet 9.5 inches in length and 3/8 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The constant-pitch 8 TPI configuration and raker tooth set deliver consistent chip clearance and controlled cutting action across a range of materials. A flexible back type reduces blade fatigue during curved or contour cutting operations. This blade is installed and serviced by millwrights, fabricators, and machine shop technicians working with vertical or horizontal bandsaws.

The STARRETT 15112 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The straight tooth form and raker set pattern make it a reliable choice for general-purpose shop cutting where consistent stock removal and blade longevity are priorities. Contour cutting capability allows operators to follow curved cut paths without excessive blade deflection. It is appropriate for light industrial and professional shop environments handling a variety of material types in a single blade setup.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• Constant-pitch 8 TPI for consistent chip load across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Raker tooth set pattern promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces heat buildup
• Flexible back type supports contour cutting and reduces fatigue cracking
• Straight tooth form and straight rake angle for controlled, predictable cutting action
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for direct installation

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines accepting a 7 feet 9.5 inch blade loop with a 3/8 inch width and 0.025 inch thickness. Verify machine wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension and tracking must be set according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted when installing a new blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop.
