Measuring 114 inches in length and 3\/4 inch wide with a 0.035 inch thickness, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws in production and maintenance settings. The variable pitch tooth pattern, spanning 6 to 10 TPI, reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections. High speed steel teeth are set in a raker pattern with a positive rake angle, delivering aggressive, consistent stock removal. This is a Starrett Intenss PRO series blade built for professional metal-cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 16291 is suited for ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal cutting in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and machine shops. The variable pitch configuration handles structural shapes, solid bar stock, tubing, and pipe with reduced blade breakage and chatter. The flexible back construction helps the blade track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking. This blade is not intended for contour cutting and should be matched to bandsaws with the appropriate wheel diameter and guide setup for a 114-inch blade length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life across varied workpiece cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip clearance in metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form suited for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous stock cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back resists fatigue and supports consistent tracking on bandsaw wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntenss PRO series — engineered for production-grade metal-cutting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 114-inch blade length with a 3\/4 inch width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and guide adjustment procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Set blade tension and guide spacing according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications for a 3\/4 inch wide blade. Inspect blade tracking after initial startup and re-adjust guides as needed before cutting under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 114 inches (9 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 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: 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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 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: 16291\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541614788914,"sku":"16291","price":117.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_99834402-d881-4e30-90ed-62a7f983fd07.jpg?v=1785880579","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16291-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
