Measuring 12 feet in length and 1\/2 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade mounts on standard horizontal and vertical bandsaws found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and machine shops. The cutting edge features high-speed steel M42 teeth at a constant 14 TPI pitch with a raker set pattern, delivering steady chip evacuation and uniform cuts through structural steel, tubing, aluminum extrusions, copper, and similar stock. A flexible back construction helps the blade track smoothly and resist fatigue during extended cutting cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is a practical choice for shops that cut a broad mix of metal shapes and profiles without switching between specialized blades. The constant 14 TPI pitch suits medium-section ferrous and non-ferrous stock and is appropriate for both straight cuts and light contour work. Typical users include journeyman machinists, pipe fabricators, millwrights, and metalworking tradespeople who run production or MRO cutting on bandsaw equipment requiring a 12-foot blade loop. The Intenss series designation indicates a straight tooth form with a positive rake angle, a geometry that promotes aggressive feed rates on harder alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 high-speed steel teeth for extended edge life on tough ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstant 14 TPI pitch for consistent chip load across medium-section cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle supports aggressive feed rates on harder materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back construction resists fatigue cracking during long run cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved or irregular profile work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bandsaws requiring a 12-foot welded blade loop with a 1\/2-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal. Verify wheel spacing and blade guide clearance on the target machine before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as edges are sharp. Confirm wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and tension specifications on the saw before mounting. Allow a new blade to run a brief break-in cycle at reduced feed rate to seat the set properly before applying full production feed pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 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\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\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9 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: 16724\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540289913138,"sku":"16724","price":130.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ba126aeca18f78e046eb323bf66af914_074c5e40-66ce-49d5-b9a9-db0bf8624f39.jpg?v=1785851313","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16724-welded-bandsaw-blade-14-tpi-bi-metal-m42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
