Starrett 16431 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft 3/4 in 10 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 16431 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting in a wide range of shop and field applications. Part of the Duratec SFB series, this blade runs 10 feet long and 3/4 inch wide, with a thickness of 0.032 inches and a constant 10 TPI pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form make it well suited for controlled, consistent cuts through ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The flexible back type reduces stress during contour cutting, extending blade life in demanding production or maintenance environments. Installation and replacement are handled by experienced machinists, fabricators, and metal shop technicians.

This blade is designed for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 10-foot welded loop with a 3/4-inch blade width. The 10 TPI constant pitch is a versatile choice for medium-thickness stock across a broad mix of materials including ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, structural plastics, and plywood. Its straight tooth rake angle keeps cutting forces predictable, which is useful in both production cutting and general-purpose fabrication shop settings. The contour-cutting capability makes it appropriate for saws used in curved or irregular-profile work.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool operator with the saw fully powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing clearance according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade.
