Starrett 15114 Welded Bandsaw Blade 18 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15114 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting on stationary band saws in shop and trade environments. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 0.025 inches thick, with a 3/8 inch width and an 18 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip removal across a range of materials. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades rely on this blade for precision cuts in production and maintenance shop settings where a durable, ready-to-install bandsaw blade is required.

The STARRETT 15114 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication shops, metal service centers, and industrial maintenance facilities. The constant pitch and straight rake angle provide predictable feed rates and smooth finishes across these material types. The flexible back type helps the blade handle the stress of continuous bandsaw operation without premature fatigue cracking.

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary band saws accepting a 12 foot 6 inch blade length with a 3/8 inch width. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with stationary band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the saw at the disconnect before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard. Follow the saw manufacturer's blade tension and guide bearing adjustment procedures after seating the blade on the wheels.
