At 145 inches in overall length, 3\/4 inches wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade is sized for stationary shop saws used in metalworking environments. The cutting edge features high speed steel teeth in a variable pitch pattern of 6 to 10 TPI with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle, a geometry that reduces vibration and improves chip clearance across a range of section sizes. Fabrication shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is designed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including structural steel, tubing, bar stock, aluminum extrusions, and similar materials. The variable pitch tooth pattern handles interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections better than a fixed-pitch blade. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run continuously on standard two- or three-wheel band saws without fatigue cracking at the weld. This is a single-piece welded blade sold individually, not in a coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for extended cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces harmonic vibration on varying cross-sections and thin-wall tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle improves cutting aggressiveness and chip removal on ferrous and non-ferrous stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set provides consistent chip clearance during sustained cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back type resists fatigue cracking over continuous band saw operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded blade supplied as a single loop, ready to install without field joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for stationary metal-cutting band saws accepting a 145-inch loop, 3\/4-inch wide, 0.035-inch thick blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBand saw blade replacement is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician familiar with blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before making a cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the tooth edge is sharp along its full length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145 inches (12 feet 1 inch)\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: 6 to 10 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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 16240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542517055794,"sku":"16240","price":147.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_a8677901-ba72-42c9-9636-f9176b1360db.jpg?v=1785902605","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16240-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
