It measures 8 feet 11 inches in length, 3\/4 inch wide, and 0.032 inches thick, with a constant-pitch layout of 8 teeth per inch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form work together to produce consistent chip clearance during cuts. The flexible back type reduces blade fatigue during extended cutting cycles. This blade is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile option for metal fabrication shops, millwork, and general-purpose production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 15728 fits stationary band saws that accept a blade measuring 8 feet 11 inches in length and 3\/4 inch in width. Its constant-pitch configuration at 8 TPI is appropriate for medium-thickness stock across a range of materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The welded construction eliminates mechanical joints, which helps maintain consistent tension and tracking throughout the blade loop. This blade is typically installed by machinists, metal fabricators, and skilled tradespeople operating horizontal or vertical band saws in shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 TPI constant-pitch layout suited for medium stock thickness across multiple materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for consistent chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type reduces fatigue and extends blade service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop eliminates mechanical joints for uniform tension and tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for contour cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit band saws accepting a welded blade 8 feet 11 inches long and 3\/4 inch wide.

Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 feet 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.032 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Constant\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: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Duratec SFB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal, Plastic, Plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9 pounds\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: 15728\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539326206258,"sku":"15728","price":51.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee43fea376a18bd8349f67f828f3345d_5efb4886-3cf0-4ca1-87db-8ff418331f09.jpg?v=1785838382","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-15728-welded-bandsaw-blade-8ft-11in-3-4in-8-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
