The blade measures 154 inches in total length and 0.5 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches and a constant-pitch 6 TPI configuration. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance and controlled feed across a range of workpiece materials. Licensed trades and production shop operators install this blade on horizontal and vertical bandsaws where a durable, general-purpose carbon steel blade is the specified consumable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run on standard bandsaw wheel diameters without premature fatigue cracking. Contour cutting capability makes it a practical choice for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and plumbing or HVAC trades cutting pipe, conduit, and structural stock. The constant pitch pattern maintains a steady cut rate and reduces vibration during straight and curved cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series carbon steel blade with consistent material quality throughout tooth and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 TPI constant pitch for general-purpose cutting across metal, plastic, and wood-based materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for balanced chip evacuation and cut control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction reduces fatigue and extends blade service life on standard bandsaw equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved or irregular profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToothed cutting edge with straight rake angle for predictable feed and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a welded loop replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 154-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width.

Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the worn blade and installing the new loop. Verify wheel diameter, blade tension setting, and guide bearing clearance against the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Constant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon 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: Straight\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, Plastic, Plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Duratec SFB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.44 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: 16458\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540568801586,"sku":"16458","price":40.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee43fea376a18bd8349f67f828f3345d_f956a056-b1d0-4f58-80a6-1e9df9c58fa2.jpg?v=1785858661","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16458-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-tpi-carbon-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
