The blade measures 1\/2 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick, wound in a 100-foot coil. Cutting performance comes from a high speed steel toothed edge bonded to an alloy steel back, with 6 teeth per inch in a constant pitch, raker set, hook-tooth configuration. This combination handles structural shapes, solid bar stock, and tubing in metal fabrication and maintenance environments. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance techs who run horizontal or vertical band saws favor coil stock for its flexibility to yield multiple blades per roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coil stock is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting in both shop and industrial maintenance applications. The 6 TPI constant pitch with raker set is a general-purpose configuration that balances cut speed and chip clearance on medium-section materials. Contour cutting capability makes it usable on machines configured for curved or irregular cuts. The 100-foot coil length yields multiple finished blades and minimizes the cost-per-blade compared to pre-cut lengths. Installation teams working in fabrication shops, mechanical contracting, and industrial maintenance will find this format practical for high-volume blade consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction: high speed steel teeth bonded to alloy steel back for durability and flex resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 teeth per inch constant pitch for general-purpose metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set for balanced chip clearance and cut accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHook tooth form with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved and irregular profile work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-foot coil yields multiple custom-length blades from a single roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose coil stock replacement for 1\/2-inch bi-metal band saw blades used on horizontal and vertical band saw machines that accept field-welded or shop-cut blade lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade cutting and welding should be performed by qualified personnel using a blade welder and blade grinder to produce proper weld geometry. Ensure the band saw is powered off and de-energized before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Blade tension and tracking must be set per the band saw manufacturer specifications before running the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coil stock, as uncoiled material can snap back and cause injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal (High Speed Steel teeth, Alloy Steel back)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoil Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\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: Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 15844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539887423794,"sku":"15844","price":1325.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0cc8073ce2b2128b1235dd36a5d1e475.jpg?v=1785844701","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-15844-band-saw-blade-coil-6-tpi-1-2-in-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
