Starrett 15958 Welded Bandsaw Blade 32 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 15958 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary bandsaw machines. Measuring 95 inches in length and 0.25 inches wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, this blade runs a constant 32 teeth-per-inch (TPI) pitch using a raker tooth set and straight tooth form. The flexible back type allows the blade to navigate curved and contour cuts without premature fatigue. At 0.05 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece welded loop ready to mount on compatible machines without additional setup. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal shops, plumbers, and general trade fabricators rely on blades like this for precision cutting of thin-section materials.

The STARRETT 15958 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile choice across trade applications. The 32 TPI constant pitch is optimized for thin-wall tubing, sheet stock, and small-profile workpieces where a coarser pitch would cause tooth stripping or rough cuts. Typical installations involve vertical bandsaws found in fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal departments, and plumbing supply prep areas. The straight rake angle and raker tooth set balance chip clearance with surface finish on these materials.

Key Features

• 95 inches (7 feet 11 inches) welded loop length fits standard mid-size bandsaw frames
• 32 TPI constant pitch for smooth cuts in thin-section ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form and straight rake angle for controlled chip ejection
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material from the Duratec SFB series
• Flexible back type supports contour and radius cutting
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines that accept a 95-inch (7 feet 11 inches) loop blade with a 0.25-inch width and 0.025-inch thickness. Verify blade length, width, and thickness against your machine specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves — bandsaw blades present a laceration hazard during handling. Confirm blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation.
