Starrett 15810 Band Saw Blade Coil 6 Tpi 1/2 in 250 Ft

Product Description

The STARRETT 15810 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations where shop-cut blade lengths are required. Supplied as a 250-foot coil, 1/2 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick, it gives fabricators and service techs the flexibility to cut blades to any length needed for their specific saw. The 6 teeth per inch (TPI) constant-pitch hook tooth geometry with raker set delivers aggressive, consistent stock removal in wood and soft non-ferrous materials. The flexible back construction reduces fatigue cracking during operation and extends blade service life in contour cutting applications.

This coil stock suits production shops, maintenance facilities, and trade professionals who run multiple band saws with varying throat depths or who work through blades at a high rate. The 1/2 inch width is a common size for benchtop and mid-size vertical band saws used in metal fabrication, HVAC duct work, pipe fitting, and general shop cutting. Blades are cut to length from the coil and joined using a butt welder or blade-joining fixture. The 6 TPI rate is appropriate for general-purpose cuts in solid stock and thick-walled material.

Key Features

• 250-foot coil provides a large supply for multiple blade cuts from a single stock unit
• 6 TPI constant-pitch pattern for consistent chip load and smooth feed rate
• Hook tooth form with positive rake angle for aggressive material removal
• Raker tooth set promotes straight tracking and reduces blade drift
• Flexible back design reduces stress cracking on contour and radius cuts
• Carbon steel construction suited for general-purpose cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose band saw blade coil stock compatible with vertical and horizontal band saws that accept 1/2 inch wide blades. Intended to be cut to length and butt-welded to fit the specific blade path of the saw in use.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and joining should be performed by a qualified shop technician using a properly calibrated butt welder and blade grinder. Disengage power and release blade tension on the saw before removing an old blade or installing a new one. Verify blade guides and thrust bearings are adjusted to the correct clearance for 1/2 inch blade width after installation. Follow the saw manufacturer's tensioning specifications before returning the machine to service.
