Measuring 64.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025 inch thickness, it runs on standard vertical or horizontal band saws used by metalworking and fabrication trades. The blade features an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge bonded to a flexible back, delivering variable-pitch cutting at 14 to 18 TPI. The Intenss PRO-DIE series designation reflects its design focus on precision die, tool, and structural metal cutting where blade longevity and cut quality are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, exotic steel alloys, and non-ferrous metals in both production and maintenance-repair settings. The variable 14-18 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is especially useful on thin-walled tubing, structural sections, and irregular stock profiles. Contour cutting capability makes it a practical choice for shops handling complex profile work or intricate die cutting operations. It ships as a single pre-welded loop ready to mount without additional joining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible bi-metal back for extended blade life on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable 14-18 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter during cuts on thin or irregular stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient metal removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form optimized for contour cutting and die work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metal workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-welded loop ships ready to install with no field joining required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement blade for band saws accepting a 64.5 inch by 0.5 inch blade in the Intenss PRO-DIE series. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and tension capacity before installation. Compatible material applications include steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metal as specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabrication technician familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the existing blade or mounting this one. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment per the saw manufacturer's specifications before running. New bi-metal blades benefit from a brief break-in period at reduced feed rate to seat the tooth geometry and extend service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 64.5 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: 14-18 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 (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\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-DIE\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 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: 16670\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538927943986,"sku":"16670","price":66.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9aa75abb83aa93061f818c02dafbf13c_99c7d2b6-0c56-4355-9321-963881ddce78.jpg?v=1785829933","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16670-bi-metal-bandsaw-blade-14-18-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
