It measures 10 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade uses a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 6 to 10 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and helps maintain consistent cut quality across varying material thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides heat resistance and edge retention under demanding cutting conditions. This blade is typically installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in metal cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 15487 is suited for production and job shop environments where both ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals are cut on horizontal or vertical band saws. The variable pitch design makes it effective across a range of material cross-sections, from solid bar stock to structural shapes. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive, efficient chip evacuation during cuts. The flexible back construction allows the blade to flex through the saw's wheel path without premature fatigue cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varying stock sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back material resists fatigue cracking through repeated wheel flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form provides consistent, predictable cutting geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a welded-loop replacement blade for band saws accepting a 10 feet 10 inch by 1 inch bi-metal blade.

Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 feet 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 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: 6 to 10 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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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: 15487\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544122720562,"sku":"15487","price":137.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_2f9b5767-c999-41c3-b952-13bead73013a.jpg?v=1785924480","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-15487-bi-metal-bandsaw-blade-6-to-10-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
