The blade measures 11 feet 9 inches in length and 0.25 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs at a constant pitch of 6 teeth per inch with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip clearance and cut quality across a range of materials. Both the blade body and teeth are carbon steel with a flexible back type suited for standard bandsaw wheel geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood cutting applications. The contour-cutting capability makes it a practical choice for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors cutting structural shapes, pipe, angle iron, tubing, or sheet goods. The constant 6 TPI pitch is a general-purpose configuration that balances cut speed with surface finish across variable stock thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series carbon steel construction for blade body and teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant pitch at 6 TPI for consistent, predictable cutting across multiple materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for balanced chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type compatible with standard bandsaw wheel radii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for contour cutting in ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-welded blade loop — no field joining required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bandsaws accepting an 11-foot 9-inch blade loop with a 0.25-inch blade width.
