Starrett 16667 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The STARRETT 16667 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in industrial and trade shop environments. At 10 feet long and 1/2 inch wide, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches and a constant 14 TPI pitch, this blade delivers consistent cut quality across a range of metal stock. The cutting edge uses M42 high speed steel teeth with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle, which helps maintain chip clearance and edge retention through demanding production cuts. Licensed metalworking trades and fabrication shops rely on this configuration for reliable performance on structural steel, tubing, bar stock, and similar materials.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal band saws used in metal fabrication, mechanical contracting, and general trade shop work. The flexible back design handles the stress of continuous bandsaw operation at standard machine speeds. With contour cutting capability, it also works for radius cuts and shaped profiles in metal plate and bar. The constant pitch pattern at 14 TPI is well matched to medium-thickness metal sections where a variable pitch is not required.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on metal cutting
• Constant 14 TPI pitch with raker tooth set and positive rake angle for consistent chip evacuation
• 10-foot welded blade length ready to install on compatible band saws without field welding
• 1/2 inch wide flexible back blade supports both straight and contour cuts
• Rated for ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications including structural steel and non-ferrous bar stock
• Part of the Intenss series, designed for demanding production cutting cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement blade for band saws accepting a 10-foot by 1/2 inch bi-metal blade. Confirm your machine's wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and blade tension specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician familiar with the specific machine. Power down and lock out the saw completely before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Verify blade tracking, guide clearances, and tension settings per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
