Measuring 11 feet in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035 inch thickness, this blade is built around a flexible back with high speed steel teeth set in a raker pattern. The variable pitch design spans 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. It is part of the Intenss PRO series and is intended for installation by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians running vertical or horizontal band saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for cutting ferrous metals such as mild steel, alloy steel, and structural shapes, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper. The variable pitch tooth geometry makes it effective for interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or bind. Typical use cases include job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations where a single blade needs to handle mixed material stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varied material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form delivers consistent, repeatable cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous metal stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back resists fatigue cracking through continuous blade cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a consistent joint with no weak points from mechanical fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for horizontal and vertical band saws accepting an 11-foot welded bi-metal blade that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inch thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and tracking adjustment per the saw manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during coiling and uncoiling. Inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear before installing a new blade to avoid premature tooth damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 feet\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\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\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\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 15520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542748627250,"sku":"15520","price":143.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_179b0205-dcd6-49e8-82df-7237e9789ea9.jpg?v=1785906101","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-15520-welded-bandsaw-blade-11-ft-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
