Starrett 15726 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15726 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary bandsaw machines. It measures 56.5 inches in length and 0.25 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The blade runs at 10 teeth per inch (TPI) in a constant pitch configuration with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip removal across a range of materials. Installation requires a properly tensioned bandsaw wheel setup and is suited for shop technicians and fabricators performing contour cutting operations.

This blade is intended for contour cutting applications on stationary bandsaws in shop and fabrication environments. The raker tooth set and straight rake angle make it a practical choice for cutting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. Its flexible back construction allows it to track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without premature fatigue. At 10 TPI, it balances cut quality and feed rate across a variety of thin-to-medium stock thicknesses.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• 10 TPI constant pitch pattern for consistent cutting performance
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form supports efficient chip clearance
• Flexible back type resists cracking and fatigue during contour cutting
• Suitable for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Welded construction delivers a seamless continuous loop ready for installation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement blade for stationary bandsaw machines accepting a 56.5-inch continuous loop blade with 0.25-inch width and 0.025-inch thickness. Verify wheel spacing and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and unplugged before blade removal or installation. Follow the machine manufacturer's tensioning specifications and confirm blade tracking is centered on the wheels before resuming operation. Blade guides should be adjusted to within the manufacturer's recommended clearance. Inspect the welded joint for integrity before first use.
