Part of the Advanz TS series, it is built with a micrograin carbide-tipped tooth and a straight tooth form with a positive rake angle, delivering clean, efficient cuts through a wide range of metal stock. The blade measures 160 inches in length and 3\/4 inch in width with a constant 3 TPI pitch, making it well-suited for slower feed rates and thicker cross-sections. A flexible back type absorbs vibration and resists fatigue over extended use. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and metalworking tradespeople handling pipe, duct stock, or structural metal will recognize this blade's construction-grade durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16891 is designed for metal-cutting bandsaw applications in residential and commercial trade settings. Its raker tooth set and constant pitch pattern make it effective on solid bar stock, structural shapes, tubing, and pipe — both ferrous and non-ferrous. The carbide-tipped micrograin teeth hold an edge longer than bi-metal alternatives in abrasive or interrupted-cut conditions. Typical users include metal fabricators, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who run stationary bandsaws regularly for cutting stock to length before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin carbide-tipped teeth for extended edge life on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstant 3 TPI pitch suited for thick cross-section cuts and steady feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible back type resists blade fatigue and absorbs cutting vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a continuous loop with no joint weakness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdvanz TS series micrograin carbide grade for consistent performance in production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 160-inch blade loop that is 3\/4 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify your saw's wheel diameter, blade guide spread, and maximum blade width before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the saw manufacturer's instructions. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or threading the new one. Proper blade tension is critical — under-tensioning causes blade drift and premature fatigue, while over-tensioning accelerates wheel and bearing wear. Confirm blade tracking is centered on the wheels before resuming cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 inches (13 feet 4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 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: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Constant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide-Tipped (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Advanz TS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 16891\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544524226866,"sku":"16891","price":545.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bdec8ff05ce608d5208d087b4e4d5c5d.jpg?v=1785928756","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-16891-welded-bandsaw-blade-3-tpi-carbide-tipped","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
