Starrett 15845 Band Saw Blade Coil 1/2 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 15845 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations in metalworking and fabrication environments. The coil measures 100 feet in length and 0.5 inches wide with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The cutting edge uses high speed steel teeth in a variable pitch pattern of 8 to 12 teeth per inch, which reduces harmonics and vibration during cuts. A raker tooth set configuration promotes efficient chip clearance. This product is sold as a single 100-foot coil, allowing shops and service technicians to cut custom blade lengths to fit a range of band saw machines.

This coil stock suits production shops, maintenance facilities, and metalworking operations that run vertical or horizontal band saws. The variable pitch and raker set make it effective for cutting solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing. Contour cutting is supported. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel back with high speed steel teeth, giving the blade resistance to fatigue and tooth strippage under demanding feed rates. It is a practical bulk option for facilities that re-weld blades in-house or need to fit multiple saw sizes from a single coil.

Key Features

• Variable pitch of 8 to 12 teeth per inch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varied stock sizes
• High speed steel tooth material resists heat and wear at elevated cutting speeds
• Alloy steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous use
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and prevents clogging
• 100-foot coil length allows custom blade sizing for multiple machine configurations
• Contour cutting capability supports curved and irregular cut profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a bulk coil replacement suitable for band saw machines that accept 0.5-inch wide bi-metal blade stock. No specific machine model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and welding should be performed by qualified shop personnel using a blade welder sized for the blade width and thickness. Ensure the band saw is fully powered down and the blade tension released before removing the existing blade. Verify blade tracking, guide clearances, and wheel alignment before running the new blade. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for break-in cutting speed on fresh bi-metal stock.
