Starrett 19464 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The STARRETT 19464 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It measures 10 feet 10.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 3 to 4 teeth per inch (TPI). The blade is constructed with a flexible back and high speed steel teeth in an M42 material grade, which delivers extended tooth life and heat resistance under demanding cutting conditions. It belongs to the Intenss series and is designed for professional metalworking applications where consistent performance and blade longevity are required.

This blade is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial cutting operations using vertical or horizontal bandsaws. The variable pitch tooth pattern reduces harmonic vibration during cutting, which improves cut quality and extends blade life on structural shapes, pipe, solid bar, and plate stock. It is appropriate for both ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal applications, making it a versatile choice for shops that process a range of material types. Licensed machinists and fabricators handling production or job-shop metal cutting will find this blade appropriate for their equipment.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended wear life
• Variable pitch 3-4 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish on metal stock
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient chip clearing
• Flexible back material withstands the continuous flexing stress of bandsaw operation
• Toothed edge with straight tooth form supports contour cutting capability
• Suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or consumable bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 10 foot 10.5 inch loop blade, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify your machine's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator familiar with the specific bandsaw model in use. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide settings according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before running the blade under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and installation.
