Starrett 15391 Band Saw Blade Coil 100 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 15391 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations in metalworking and fabrication environments. The blade measures 0.25 inches wide and 0.035 inches thick, supplied in a 100-foot coil that allows shops to cut custom blade lengths for multiple saws. The tooth edge is high speed steel bonded to an alloy steel back, giving the blade durability at high cutting speeds while resisting heat and wear. With a variable pitch of 10-14 teeth per inch (TPI) and a raker set, this blade is well suited for licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with a range of material thicknesses.

This coil stock is intended for use in horizontal and vertical band saw applications where contour cutting is required. The variable 10-14 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it effective across varied cross-sections of metal stock, tubing, and structural shapes. Shops that run multiple band saws benefit from purchasing coil stock to weld or braze blades to exact loop lengths on-site, reducing inventory of pre-formed blades. This product is appropriate for light industrial, job shop, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: high speed steel teeth bonded to alloy steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thickness
• Raker tooth set for efficient chip clearance during straight and contour cuts
• Straight tooth rake angle and straight tooth form for consistent, controllable feed
• 100-foot coil allows on-site cutting to custom blade lengths for multiple machines
• Supports contour cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a coil-stock replacement blade for band saws accepting 0.25-inch wide by 0.035-inch thick bi-metal blades. Verify your saw's blade width, thickness, and wheel diameter specifications before cutting and welding to length.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and welding from coil stock should be performed by a qualified technician using a blade welder and appropriate personal protective equipment including cut-resistant gloves and eye protection. Power down and de-energize the band saw completely before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Confirm blade tracking, tension, and guide alignment after installation per the saw manufacturer's service documentation. Improper tension or tracking can cause premature blade failure or unsafe operation.
