Measuring 8 feet long and 0.035 inches thick with a 1\/2-inch width, this blade runs at a constant 14 TPI pitch with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle. The cutting teeth are manufactured from M42 high-speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade known for heat resistance and extended edge life when cutting hard or abrasive stock. A flexible back construction reduces blade fatigue during continuous contour and straight cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16666 is suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless, aluminum, and copper alloys on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines. The constant 14 TPI pitch produces a consistent chip load, making it a practical choice for solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing in both production and one-off cutting scenarios. The Intenss series designation indicates a blade profile optimized for general-purpose metal cutting across a broad range of workpiece sizes and material hardnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 high-speed steel teeth for superior heat and wear resistance on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstant 14 TPI pitch for uniform chip load and consistent cut quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle reduces cutting force and heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction extends blade life under continuous or contour cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction bonds HSS teeth to a flexible alloy steel back for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1\/2-inch wide blade with an 8-foot loop length.

Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Ensure proper blade tension per the machine manufacturer's specifications and confirm blade tracking before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 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: 14\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: 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 Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 16666\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543088791858,"sku":"16666","price":87.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_dc444a5a-59cd-47cf-af6d-5115a31410ec.jpg?v=1785915243","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16666-welded-bandsaw-blade-8-ft-14-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
