Part of the Intenss PRO-DIE series, it measures 173 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, and runs a variable pitch of 10 to 14 TPI for smooth, efficient cutting across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high-speed steel tooth construction delivers hardness and heat resistance needed when cutting tough alloys. Licensed metalworking tradespeople, machinists, and fabricators typically install and use this blade on vertical or horizontal bandsaw units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for contour cutting and straight-cut operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its variable pitch pattern reduces vibration and blade chatter, making it effective on steel, stainless steel, exotic steel alloys, and non-ferrous metals. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote chip clearance and consistent feed. It is a practical choice for production shops and tool-and-die operations where blade longevity and cut quality on difficult materials are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and exotic alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varying material cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible steel back resists fatigue and cracking during continuous cutting cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable, suitable for curved and straight cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntenss PRO-DIE series — designed for steel, stainless steel, exotic steel, and non-ferrous metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for vertical and horizontal bandsaws accepting a 173-inch blade length in 0.5-inch width.

Confirm wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the saw match the 173-inch loop length and 0.5-inch blade width before installation. Tension the blade according to the bandsaw manufacturer's recommended tension specifications for the blade width and material being cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 173 inches (14 feet 5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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 (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-14 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\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\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: Steel, Stainless Steel, Exotic Steel, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-DIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3 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: 17079\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542376055090,"sku":"17079","price":141.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9aa75abb83aa93061f818c02dafbf13c_dead1849-7f37-4726-bfe8-6a408a9bd0f7.jpg?v=1785898978","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-17079-welded-bandsaw-blade-10-14-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
