Built on the Versatix MP platform, this blade combines an M42 high speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy back, delivering durability through interrupted cuts and contour work. It measures 133 inches in total length and 0.75 inches wide, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup during sustained cuts. It is installed by machinists, metal fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is sized for horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 133-inch loop. The variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, making it well suited for cutting structural steel sections including angle iron, channel, tubing, and solid bar stock. The M42 cobalt high speed steel tooth material extends edge life compared to standard M2 bi-metal blades, particularly on harder or work-hardened materials. The straight tooth form and raker set produce a consistent kerf on ferrous stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high speed steel teeth for extended life on structural steel and ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and chatter during cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible alloy back resists fatigue cracking under continuous band tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction — no mechanical joint to introduce stress concentration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatix MP series engineered for structural steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit bandsaw machines accepting a 133-inch welded loop blade, 0.75 inches wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Inspect wheel tires, guides, and blade guards before mounting a new blade. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before running the blade under load. Do not exceed the blade speed rating for the material being cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 133 inches (11 ft 1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 to 14 (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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Structural Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Versatix MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 17063\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540362527026,"sku":"17063","price":100.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c1278abaa176646692db780bd9c468d0_d1018c9d-52f6-4f13-9d1e-a50b4940d83b.jpg?v=1785853369","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-17063-bi-metal-bandsaw-blade-10-14-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
