Starrett 16140 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Ft 4 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 16140 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on stationary bandsaws in shop and production environments. The blade measures 14 feet in length and 0.25 inches wide with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs a constant-pitch, 4 TPI hook-tooth geometry with a raker set and a positive rake angle, making it suited for aggressive feed rates through a variety of workpiece materials. The flexible back type allows the blade to track cleanly around bandsaw wheels without premature fatigue. Licensed trades and skilled shop technicians performing metal fabrication or material processing are the primary installers of this blade.

The STARRETT 16140 is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty cutting applications across a range of materials. The 4 TPI constant pitch with hook-tooth form is effective on ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. It is a practical fit for shops running production cuts, maintenance facilities handling structural stock, or fabrication operations needing a reliable carbon steel blade on a 14-foot bandsaw. The raker tooth set promotes chip clearance and reduces blade loading during through-cuts on solid or sheet stock.

Key Features

• 14-foot welded blade length for direct drop-in replacement on matching bandsaws
• 4 TPI constant-pitch hook-tooth form for fast, aggressive cuts
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Positive rake angle improves feed rate through ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Flexible back type resists fatigue during continuous operation
• Carbon steel blade and tooth construction for general-purpose cutting duty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaws requiring a 14-foot welded bandsaw blade. Confirmed material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified shop personnel with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing match the 14-foot blade length before installation. Tension and tracking should be set according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications before running the blade under load. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are recommended when handling and coiling bandsaw blades.
