Built on the Versatix MP series platform, this blade combines an M42 high speed steel tooth edge with a flexible backing to handle the stress of contour and straight cuts on heavy ferrous materials. At 11 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it is sized for mid-range industrial and shop bandsaws. The variable 10-14 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, improving surface finish and extending blade life on structural profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is intended for professional metalworking environments where structural steel — including angle iron, tube, bar stock, and similar profiles — is cut regularly on horizontal or vertical bandsaws. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive chip evacuation, making it well suited to production cutting cycles. Fabrication shops, maintenance technicians, and ironworkers are the primary installers and users of this blade type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel tooth material for extended cutting life on structural steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 10-14 TPI pitch reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction withstands repeated flex stress on bandsaw wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction delivers a consistent, balanced blade with no mechanical joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatix MP series design optimized for structural steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket bandsaw blade for mid-range metal-cutting bandsaws accepting an 11-foot 10-inch blade length, 1-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Always power down and lock out the machine before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or handling the blade. Verify that blade length, width, and thickness match the saw's specifications before installation to avoid improper tracking or wheel damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 feet 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\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: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Structural Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Versatix MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 16121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540798177586,"sku":"16121","price":118.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c1278abaa176646692db780bd9c468d0_227f5622-5c9f-4bd7-b958-467810ebd896.jpg?v=1785864109","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16121-welded-bandsaw-blade-10-14-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
