Measuring 90 inches long and 1\/2 inch wide with a 0.035 inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting hard and abrasive metals. A positive rake angle and raker tooth set promote efficient chip evacuation and consistent cut quality. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and fabrication trades rely on this blade for precision contour and straight cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 15398 is designed for stationary bandsaws used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade service environments. It is suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, exotic steel alloys, and non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, which is especially useful when transitioning between varying material cross-sections or wall thicknesses. It is a strong fit for shops that require consistent performance across a wide range of metal stock profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and exotic metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction pairs a flexible steel back with hardened cutting teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved and profile cuts in metal stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a consistent joint suited for continuous-band saw use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for stationary bandsaws accepting a 90 inch length, 1\/2 inch wide blade.

Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel guides, blade tension, and tracking alignment per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 inches (7 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 to 14 (Variable Pitch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-DIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Exotic Steel, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15398\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541713813810,"sku":"15398","price":89.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9aa75abb83aa93061f818c02dafbf13c_60fa5fe4-0ef1-448b-8501-0a5f02c887bf.jpg?v=1785882786","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-15398-welded-bandsaw-blade-10-14-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
