The blade measures 173 inches in length and 3\/4 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel back with high speed steel teeth, delivering durability and consistent cutting performance across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, producing a cleaner kerf and extending blade life. This blade is part of the Intenss PRO series, designed for professionals who run production bandsaw equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for ferrous metal applications such as structural steel, tubing, and bar stock, as well as non-ferrous materials including aluminum and copper alloys. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote efficient chip evacuation and aggressive feed rates, making this blade a practical choice for high-volume cutting or difficult cross-section profiles. It installs on standard vertical or horizontal band saws that accept a 173-inch blade loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction: flexible alloy steel back with high speed steel teeth for extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type accommodates continuous bandsaw operation without fatigue cracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Intenss PRO series, built for production-level cutting demands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for band saws requiring a 173-inch blade loop with a 3\/4-inch width.

Power down and lockout\/tagout the saw before changing blades. Verify blade tension and guide bearing clearance according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades — the coiled blade can spring open unexpectedly during unpackaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 173 inches (14 feet 5 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: 6 to 10 (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\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\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\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\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9 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: 16626\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540760887602,"sku":"16626","price":167.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a54d21315286c844fc154bed8d3dcfb7.jpg?v=1785863661","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16626-welded-bandsaw-blade-6-10-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
