The blade measures 10 feet 6 inches in length and 3\/4 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.035 inches. Constructed from a bi-metal body with M42 high speed steel teeth, it runs a variable 4-6 TPI pitch pattern with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle. These design elements combine to reduce vibration, extend blade life, and deliver cleaner cuts across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals install this blade on compatible horizontal and vertical bandsaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 16396 is suited for contour cutting and straight cuts in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal stock. The variable pitch helps manage harmonics on irregular cross-sections and reduces blade fatigue during prolonged cuts. Its flexible back construction allows the blade to track smoothly through bandsaw wheel contact without premature cracking. This blade is appropriate for job shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where consistent metal-cutting performance is required across varying material sizes and profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 4-6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and harmonics during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, controlled material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type maintains blade integrity through bandsaw wheel flex cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports contour cutting in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Intenss series, designed for high-performance metal-cutting use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 10-foot 6-inch blade length with a 3\/4-inch width.

Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before handling or replacing the blade. Verify that wheel guides, blade guards, and tracking are properly adjusted to the blade width before resuming operation. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning specifications and wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blade stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 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: 4-6 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\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: 1.3 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: 16396\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542714679602,"sku":"16396","price":127.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_b96212e3-d1d8-4216-ab2d-e5d9916dd004.jpg?v=1785905201","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16396-welded-bandsaw-blade-4-6-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
