Measuring 89 inches long and 1\/2 inch wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, this blade is part of the Intenss PRO-DIE series and carries an M42 high speed steel tooth material grade. The variable pitch tooth pattern at 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts, improving surface finish and extending blade life. A positive rake angle and raker tooth set contribute to consistent chip removal across a range of metal stock profiles. Licensed technicians and skilled machinists are the typical installers for this type of blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for contour cutting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous stock, including steel, stainless steel, exotic steel alloys, and non-ferrous metals. The flexible back type makes it well-suited for radius cuts and contour work on vertical bandsaws. It is a welded continuous-loop blade, ready to install on compatible machines without field welding. Fabrication shops, tool and die operations, and metal service centers commonly stock blades of this specification for production and maintenance cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and exotic metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch (10-14 TPI) reduces vibration and chatter on varied stock thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cut efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for consistent metal removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction supports contour and radius cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-welded loop blade — no field welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on vertical bandsaws that accept a 89-inch blade loop with 1\/2-inch blade width.

Power down and lock out the machine at the disconnect before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Confirm proper blade tension according to the machine manufacturer's specifications and inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear before returning the saw to service. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 89 inches (7 feet 5 inches)\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: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-14 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\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\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\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Exotic Steel, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-DIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9 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: 16669\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539028640050,"sku":"16669","price":85.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9aa75abb83aa93061f818c02dafbf13c_4b238149-9ea7-43f6-8276-dc67528280b0.jpg?v=1785833299","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16669-welded-bandsaw-blade-10-14-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
