It measures 149 inches in total length and 0.5 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle and raker set, delivering consistent chip clearance across a 14 TPI constant pitch. The flexible steel back reduces blade fatigue during extended cuts. This blade ships as a single welded loop, ready to mount on compatible bandsaw machines without additional preparation. It is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade professionals working with structural steel, tubing, bar stock, and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 15480 is designed for contour and straight cutting applications on ferrous metals such as mild steel, alloy steel, and structural sections, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum, copper, and brass. The Intenss series construction makes it a practical choice for production cutting environments where consistent tooth geometry and blade longevity are priorities. The 14 TPI constant pitch pattern performs well on solid bar stock and thin-wall tubing in typical industrial and commercial cutting scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 TPI constant pitch provides steady chip load and smooth cut finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle and raker tooth set improve cutting efficiency and chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back material reduces stress cracking and extends blade service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form supports both contour and linear cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-welded loop ready to install without field joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 149-inch loop blade with 0.5-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLicensed millwrights, machinists, or qualified shop technicians typically install bandsaw blades. Always power down and lock out the bandsaw before blade removal or installation. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension according to the machine manufacturer specifications before running the saw. Inspect blade guides and bearing assemblies for wear before mounting a new blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 149 inches (12 feet 5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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: 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Constant\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\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 15480\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540280377650,"sku":"15480","price":124.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_f7353e37-652d-4cd9-b618-79c5773eb566.jpg?v=1785851106","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-15480-welded-bandsaw-blade-14-tpi-bi-metal-m42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
