Built on the Intenss series platform, it measures 12 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade uses M42 high speed steel teeth with a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI and a raker tooth set, which reduces harmonic vibration and helps maintain consistent chip load across varying stock profiles. The flexible back construction allows the blade to track smoothly under continuous cycling conditions, making it suitable for production bandsaw applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is intended for use in stationary horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws in commercial fabrication shops, job shops, and maintenance facilities. The variable 4-6 TPI pattern suits a range of cross-sections and material thicknesses in ferrous metals such as structural steel, carbon steel, and alloy bar stock, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper profiles. Installation is performed by a machinist or maintenance technician as part of routine blade changeout or first-time machine setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in tough ferrous and non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 4-6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set provides efficient chip clearance during metal-cutting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction supports consistent blade tracking under continuous use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a welded-loop replacement blade for stationary metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a blade measuring 12 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness with a standard 4-6 TPI variable-pitch bi-metal specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or industrial maintenance technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's service documentation. Disconnect and lock out the machine from its power source before removing the worn blade or mounting the new one. Inspect blade guides, wheel tires, and blade tracking alignment before bringing the saw back into service. Do not exceed the blade speed and tension ratings specified for the host machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 feet 4 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: 4-6 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 (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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 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: 16136\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539534414130,"sku":"16136","price":163.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_21ab903f-8323-46cc-bea0-f5aaa364b762.jpg?v=1785842565","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16136-welded-bandsaw-blade-4-6-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
