Starrett 16094 Band Saw Blade Coil 0.5 in 100 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 16094 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous-length cutting applications in metalworking and fabrication environments. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick, supplied in a 100-foot coil that allows the user to cut blades to the exact length required for the saw. The bi-metal construction pairs an alloy steel back with a high speed steel tooth edge, delivering durability under sustained cutting loads. A variable pitch of 14 to 18 teeth per inch and a wavy tooth set help reduce vibration and improve chip clearance across a range of material thicknesses. Installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

This coil stock is suited for contour cutting applications on metal-cutting band saws in job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations. The variable pitch design makes it effective across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock thicknesses, minimizing chatter when transitioning through varying cross-sections. Because it ships as a coil, a single reel can supply multiple blade lengths for different saw frames or be used to replace blades on demand without ordering individual pre-cut blades. Straight tooth rake and straight tooth form contribute to predictable feed rates in general-purpose cutting.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: alloy steel back with high speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 14-18 TPI with wavy tooth set for reduced vibration and smooth chip evacuation
• 0.5 inch blade width and 0.025 inch thickness suitable for contour and straight cutting
• 100-foot coil stock format allows on-site cutting to any required blade length
• Straight tooth rake and straight tooth form for consistent, predictable cuts
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profile work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement coil stock for metal-cutting band saws that accept 0.5 inch wide bi-metal blades. Specific saw compatibility depends on blade length cut from the coil and the saw frame throat and wheel dimensions.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with band saw equipment. Disconnect power and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Use appropriate blade-breaking and blade-welding or fastening equipment when sizing lengths from the coil. Inspect blade tension, tracking, and guide alignment after installation before returning the saw to service.
