Starrett 15708 Portable Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal 3pk

Product Description

The STARRETT 15708 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cut applications in the trades. At 44.875 inches long, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.020 inches thick, it fits most standard portable bandsaw tools used by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters. The blade features a variable pitch of 10 to 14 TPI, allowing it to handle a wide range of material thicknesses without changing blades. High speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel backer give this blade durability under continuous use. Each package contains 3 blades.

This blade is suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, conduit, pipe, strut, and structural stock in the field or shop. The variable 10-14 TPI pitch reduces blade chatter and vibration when transitioning between thin-wall and heavier cross-sections. Raker tooth set and straight tooth rake angle support consistent chip clearance during straight cuts. It is a practical choice for service technicians and installers who rely on portable bandsaws for rough-in and demolition work.

Installation Notes

Portable bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific tool manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedure. Always disconnect the tool from its power source before opening the blade guard or changing blades. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bare bandsaw blades. Verify blade tracking and tension before making the first cut to avoid premature blade fatigue or blade walk.
