Part of the Versatix MP series, it measures 131 inches in length and 3\/4 inches in width with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The variable pitch tooth pattern spans 8 to 12 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut quality across varying material cross-sections. Teeth are formed from M42 high speed steel and configured in a raker set with a positive rake angle, delivering aggressive, consistent stock removal. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, pipefitters, and structural steel fabricators rely on this blade for continuous-duty cutting in production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 16133 is suited for cutting structural steel in both job-shop and production settings. The variable pitch design performs well on structural profiles, tubing, and solid bar stock where uniform TPI blades tend to chatter or stall. The flexible back construction allows the blade to track smoothly on standard two-wheel and three-wheel bandsaw machines. This blade is not configured for contour cutting and is intended for straight cuts through metal workpieces. It is sold individually and is a direct welded blade ready to mount without additional joining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on structural steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth provide extended tooth life under heavy cutting loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction supports consistent blade tracking on standard bandsaw machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction — ready to install with no field joining required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatix MP series optimized for structural steel material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for standard bandsaw machines accepting a 131-inch blade loop in 3\/4-inch width, used in structural steel cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBandsaw blade replacement is typically performed by a machinist or qualified shop technician. Before mounting, power down and lock out the bandsaw at the main disconnect per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade tracking guides are properly set to accommodate the 3\/4-inch blade width before tensioning. Do not overtension the blade; follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tension specifications for the given blade width and thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 131 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\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: 8 to 12 (Variable Pitch)\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\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Structural Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 16133\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542722150706,"sku":"16133","price":104.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c1278abaa176646692db780bd9c468d0_b864030f-6f28-4265-9967-17ea2347003e.jpg?v=1785905367","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16133-welded-bandsaw-blade-8-12-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
