It measures 12 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with an 8 teeth-per-inch constant pitch configuration. The blade is constructed from carbon steel throughout — both the back and the tooth material — and features a raker tooth set with a straight tooth form and flexible back. It is suited for production cutting environments where consistent, repeatable cuts are required across a range of materials. Installation is handled by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with vertical or horizontal band saw equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is rated for contour cutting and applies to ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The 8 TPI constant pitch is well matched to general-purpose stock removal on moderate-thickness workpieces in light fabrication, maintenance shops, and trade service environments. The flexible back reduces blade fatigue during contour and radius cuts, extending service intervals in high-cycle applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series construction with full carbon steel blade and tooth material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load across varied material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for clean, efficient cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back design reduces stress cracking during contour cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction for direct drop-in installation on band saw wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for stationary band saws accepting a 12 feet 6 inch loop blade measuring 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.
