The blade measures 68 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs a constant 10 teeth per inch (TPI) configuration with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip clearance across a range of materials. The blade body and teeth are both carbon steel construction with a flexible back type, making it well suited for contour cutting applications on metal, plastic, and wood-composite stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is appropriate for use in metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct shops, plumbing supply houses, and general mechanical shops where a reliable carbon steel band saw blade is needed for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The constant pitch pattern provides a steady, predictable cut, and the raker tooth set helps evacuate chips efficiently during extended cutting runs. It is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians operating horizontal or vertical band saws that accept a 68-inch blade loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series carbon steel blade body and teeth for durability on general-purpose cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 TPI constant pitch pattern for consistent, smooth chip load across supported materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form optimized for chip evacuation and contour cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type reduces blade fatigue during continuous operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction eliminates the need for field joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for band saws accepting a 68-inch welded loop blade measuring 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBand saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures.
