Starrett 19458 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19458 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in stationary bandsaw applications. The blade measures 193 inches in total length, 0.75 inches wide, and 0.032 inches thick, with a constant 3 TPI pitch and a hook tooth form set in a raker pattern. The positive rake angle promotes aggressive material removal, making this blade well-suited for production cutting environments. A flexible back type allows the blade to run smoothly around bandsaw wheels without premature fatigue cracking. Licensed tradespeople and machinists are the primary installers and users of this blade.

The STARRETT 19458 is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in shop and light industrial environments. Its 3 TPI constant pitch and hook tooth geometry are optimized for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The raker tooth set provides consistent chip clearance during contour and straight cuts. This blade is appropriate for both production shops and general metal fabrication settings where a durable, all-purpose carbon steel blade is required.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• 3 TPI constant pitch with hook tooth form for aggressive chip removal
• Raker tooth set promotes even chip clearance and consistent cut quality
• Positive rake angle supports fast, efficient cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Flexible back type reduces fatigue and extends blade service life on bandsaw wheels
• Contour cutting capable — suitable for curved and straight-line work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded bandsaw blade replacement for stationary bandsaws requiring a 193-inch blade loop, 0.75 inches wide, with a 3 TPI constant pitch configuration.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing are appropriate for a 0.75-inch wide blade before mounting. Inspect blade tension settings against the saw manufacturer specifications after installation. Do not force or kink the blade during handling, as carbon steel blades are susceptible to set damage and cracking if improperly coiled or stored.
