Starrett 15835 Band Saw Blade Coil Stock 1/4 in 100 Ft

Product Description

The STARRETT 15835 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous-length cutting applications in metalworking and fabrication shops. The blade measures 1/4 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick, supplied in a 100-foot coil that allows technicians and fabricators to cut custom blade lengths to fit their specific saw. The tooth edge is high speed steel with a variable pitch of 10-14 teeth per inch and a raker set pattern, making it well suited for cutting a range of materials and stock profiles without excessive vibration or tooth loading.

This coil stock is intended for use in portable and stationary band saws where the operator needs to fabricate replacement blades on-site or in a shop setting. The 1/4 inch width supports contour cutting, allowing the blade to follow curved or irregular cut paths. It is commonly used by metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, pipefitters, and general tradespeople who prefer to weld their own blades rather than stock multiple pre-made sizes. The variable pitch tooth pattern reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, which extends blade life and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: high speed steel teeth bonded to an alloy steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and suits a range of material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set for efficient chip clearance during metal cutting
• 1/4 inch width supports contour and radius cutting applications
• 100-foot coil provides material for multiple custom-length blades
• Straight tooth rake and straight tooth form for consistent, repeatable cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a coil-stock replacement for band saws accepting 1/4 inch wide blades; operators must cut and weld blade ends to the required length for their specific saw model.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a blade welder or butt-weld fixture to join cut ends; this work is typically performed by a machinist or experienced fabricator following the saw manufacturer's weld and anneal procedure. Ensure the band saw is fully powered down and the wheel tension is released before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Blade tracking and tension should be set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications after installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coil stock, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during uncoiling and cutting.
