Starrett 15504 Welded Bandsaw Blade 9 Ft 8 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15504 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting in stationary bandsaw machines. Measuring 9 feet in length and 3/4 inch wide, it runs at 0.032 inches thick with a constant-pitch, 8-teeth-per-inch (TPI) configuration. The blade is constructed entirely of carbon steel — both the back and tooth material — with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form. The flexible back type allows the blade to run smoothly on bandsaw wheel pairs without fatigue cracking during normal service cycles. Trade professionals and fabricators rely on this blade for precise, repeatable cuts across a range of materials.

This blade is suited for contour cutting operations on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The 8 TPI constant pitch makes it a versatile general-purpose option for medium-thickness stock where a balance of cut speed and surface finish is needed. Typical applications include metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and maintenance facilities running horizontal or vertical bandsaws. The raker tooth set distributes cutting load evenly across the kerf, reducing blade deflection and extending service life on mixed-material workloads.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction — blade body and teeth are both carbon steel
• Constant 8 TPI pitch for consistent chip load across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Raker tooth set reduces lateral blade drift and distributes cutting forces evenly
• Flexible back type resists fatigue cracking through repeated bandsaw wheel cycles
• Straight tooth form and straight rake angle suited to general-purpose stock removal
• Welded loop construction — ready to install without additional cutting or joining

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-compatible replacement or direct-fit bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines accepting a 9-foot, 3/4-inch-wide blade with 0.032-inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify that wheel guides, blade guides, and blade tension are set according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
