At 16 feet long and 1\/2 inch wide, with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits bandsaw machines requiring a full-loop blade in this size range. The blade is manufactured from M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible back, delivering durability across a variable pitch of 10 to 14 TPI. The raker tooth set with a positive rake angle supports aggressive, controlled stock removal. This is a professional-grade blade from STARRETT's Intenss PRO-DIE series, targeted at metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, and machine shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 16315 is suited for vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting. The variable 10-14 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it effective on solid bar stock, structural sections, and tube or pipe. Its 16-foot loop length targets mid-to-large frame bandsaw machines common in industrial and production environments. Licensed trades and shop technicians performing structural steel fabrication or precision metal cutting will find this blade appropriate for demanding, high-cycle work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and exotic metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 10-14 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back material resists fatigue during continuous cutting cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved or irregular workpiece profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a consistent, ready-to-install loop with no field joining required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a welded replacement blade for metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 16-foot loop, 1\/2-inch wide, 0.035-inch thick blade.

Power down and lockout\/tagout the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and blade tension settings on the machine match the 16-foot loop length and 1\/2-inch blade width before running. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth and welded joint present laceration hazards.\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: 1\/2 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: 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: High Speed Steel (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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-DIE\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: Steel, Stainless Steel, Exotic Steel, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.8 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: 16315\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538579980594,"sku":"16315","price":150.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9aa75abb83aa93061f818c02dafbf13c.jpg?v=1785825159","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16315-welded-bandsaw-blade-16-ft-10-14-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
