Starrett 15593 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15593 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary band saw machines. The blade measures 7 feet 5 inches in total length, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.025 inches thick, with a constant 6 teeth-per-inch pitch and a raker tooth set for balanced chip clearance. The straight tooth form and flexible back type make it well-suited for curved and contour cuts through a range of workpiece materials. This is a shop-ready, pre-welded blade that mounts directly to compatible band saw wheels without field welding or splicing.

The 15593 is intended for use in industrial and trade shop environments where operators are cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The 6 TPI constant pitch provides a good balance of cut speed and surface finish across these materials. The raker tooth set distributes cutting load evenly, which helps extend blade life in production and service-shop use. Typical installation settings include metal fabrication shops, HVAC service shops cutting duct hardware, plumbing contractors cutting pipe, and general trade contractors using floor-standing band saws.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified operator or machinist. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before removing the existing blade or mounting a new one. Follow the band saw manufacturer's blade tensioning and tracking procedures before resuming operation. Blade guards must be reinstalled and adjusted to the workpiece height before cutting begins.
