Starrett 15118 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15118 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary band saw machines. The blade measures 114 inches long and 3/4 inch wide, with a 0.032 inch thickness and a constant 10 teeth-per-inch pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance across a range of materials. It is suited for use by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require a reliable general-purpose blade for light to moderate cutting tasks.

The STARRETT 15118 is intended for stationary bandsaw applications in shops and light industrial environments. Its carbon steel construction and raker tooth configuration make it well-suited for cutting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly around bandsaw wheels, reducing fatigue and breakage during extended cutting runs. This blade is sold individually and is appropriate for both production and maintenance cutting operations.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing match the blade dimensions before tensioning. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, and confirm blade tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation.
