The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 0.25 inches wide with a thickness of 0.025 inches. It runs at 6 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and a raker tooth set, which distributes cutting load evenly across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The flexible back type reduces fatigue cracking during extended use. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors who maintain shop equipment, as well as fabricators and service technicians, will find this blade suited to general-purpose cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is intended for use on band saws with a 12-foot 6-inch blade capacity. It cuts ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile choice for light fabrication, HVAC sheet metal shops, plumbing supply houses, and general trade environments. The straight tooth form and raker set pattern work well on solid stock and tubing where chip clearance is a priority. Constant pitch keeps vibration consistent and predictable across varying material thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 TPI constant pitch with raker tooth set for balanced chip clearance on metal and plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form and rake angle for consistent, controlled cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type reduces stress cracking during extended cutting cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContour cutting capable for curved and irregular work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for band saws requiring a welded blade with a 12-foot 6-inch loop length and a 0.25-inch blade width.
