It measures 15 feet 6 inches in length, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant 10 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch. The cutting teeth are made from M42-grade high speed steel, offering superior edge retention on demanding materials. A positive rake angle and raker tooth set promote aggressive, efficient chip clearance during cuts. This blade is installed by machinists and fabricators on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16282 is suited for cutting ferrous metals such as mild steel, alloy steel, and stainless, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum, copper, and brass. The constant 10 TPI pitch makes it best matched to solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing with consistent wall thickness. The flexible back design helps the blade track smoothly on standard bandsaw wheel configurations and reduces the risk of blade fatigue during extended cutting cycles. It is a practical general-purpose metal-cutting blade for shops that process a variety of stock sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstant 10 TPI pitch provides smooth, consistent cuts in solid and structural stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle and raker tooth set for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction reduces stress and fatigue during continuous operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form for clean, square cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded blade supplied ready to install at 15 feet 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 15-foot 6-inch blade loop, 0.5 inches wide and 0.035 inches thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician with the saw fully powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension specifications on the host machine before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. After installation, run the blade at low load for a brief break-in period before full production cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 feet 6 inches\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: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Constant\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\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1 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: 16282\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544026382642,"sku":"16282","price":159.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_923c995d-bac4-4349-9c64-73e2ecb13756.jpg?v=1785923164","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16282-bi-metal-bandsaw-blade-10-tpi-15-ft-6-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
