Starrett 15739 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15739 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary band saws used in metal fabrication, woodworking, and plastics work. The blade measures 19 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. It runs at 6 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and a straight raker tooth set, delivering consistent chip clearance and controlled feed rates across a range of workpiece materials. Both the blade body and teeth are carbon steel construction with a flexible back, making this a dependable all-around blade for production and maintenance shop environments. Installation is handled by HVAC, metalworking, or general maintenance technicians operating horizontal or vertical band saws.

The STARRETT 15739 is suited for contour cutting operations on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The constant pitch pattern and straight tooth form make it appropriate for general-purpose stock removal where a single blade needs to handle varied material types. Typical install scenarios include production shops, HVAC mechanical rooms, plumbing fabrication areas, and electrical conduit shops where a band saw is used for structural or pipe stock cutoff. The flexible back reduces blade fatigue during contour and curved cuts.

Key Features

• 19 feet 6 inches total blade length for standard band saw wheel spacing
• 1 inch blade width supports straight and moderate contour cuts
• 6 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load across varied materials
• Raker tooth set provides efficient chip clearance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Carbon steel blade body and teeth with flexible back for fatigue resistance
• Contour cutting capable across ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary band saws requiring a 19 feet 6 inch loop with a 1 inch wide, 0.035 inch thick profile. Confirm wheel diameter and blade guide specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blades are installed by maintenance technicians or qualified shop personnel. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before removing the old blade or threading the new one. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves — carbon steel edges retain sharpness and can cause lacerations. Verify blade tension according to the band saw manufacturer's tensioning guide before resuming operation.
