The blade runs 93.5 inches (7 feet 9.5 inches) long and 0.375 inches wide, with a uniform constant pitch of 6 teeth per inch (TPI) and a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The hook tooth form with a positive rake angle and raker tooth set promotes aggressive, efficient material removal. The flexible back type reduces stress during curved cuts and extends blade fatigue life. Installation and replacement are handled by machine operators and shop maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 16298 is suited for cutting a range of materials including ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. The constant 6 TPI pitch is well matched to general-purpose cutting tasks where consistent chip load and finish quality are priorities. The raker set pattern and hook tooth geometry make this blade a practical choice for production shop environments running light to medium stock removal on a variety of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 93.5 inches (7 feet 9.5 inches) welded continuous loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant pitch at 6 TPI with hook tooth form and positive rake angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set for balanced chip clearance and straight tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel blade and tooth material for general-purpose shop cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type reduces bending fatigue on contour and radius cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for stationary band saw machines requiring a 93.5-inch blade loop.
