Measuring 16 feet in length and 0.5 inches wide, this blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 teeth per inch (TPI), which reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cuts. The cutting teeth are made from M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle and raker tooth set, delivering aggressive chip clearance and extended blade life when working through tough materials. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and metalworking contractors as well as fabrication shops will find this blade suited for demanding production cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade belongs to the Starrett Intenss PRO-DIE series and is designed for contour and straight cutting applications across a broad range of metals. Material applications include carbon steel, stainless steel, exotic steel alloys, and non-ferrous metals. The flexible back construction reduces blade fatigue during curved or contour cuts. It is appropriate for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines in both production and job-shop settings where a welded loop blade is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for durability in metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 10-14 TPI pattern reduces vibration and improves cut quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle with raker tooth set for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type resists fatigue during contour and curved cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction — no field splicing required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for cutting carbon steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metals. Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 16-foot welded loop blade at 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick. Verify your machine's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and blade-guide adjustment. Power down and lockout-tagout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade — teeth are sharp throughout the full length. Set blade tension and guide alignment according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-14 (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: M42 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-DIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Exotic Steel, 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.6 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: 16256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541301133618,"sku":"16256","price":142.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9aa75abb83aa93061f818c02dafbf13c_dba6daea-fb66-4266-8a90-b1980966ac32.jpg?v=1785871715","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16256-welded-bandsaw-blade-16-ft-10-14-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
