Starrett 19469 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19469 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in metal-cutting and general-purpose bandsaw applications. The blade measures 175 inches long and 3/8 inch wide, with a 0.025-inch thickness and a constant 6 TPI pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance across a wide range of materials. Installation-ready out of the package, this blade suits production shops and service professionals who need a reliable drop-in replacement for standard 14-foot 7-inch bandsaw frames.

The 19469 is suited for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The constant pitch pattern makes it a practical choice for straight and contour cutting tasks on vertical or horizontal bandsaws sized for a 175-inch blade. The flexible back type allows the blade to track smoothly around bandsaw wheels without fatigue cracking under normal operating cycles. Typical users include metal fabricators, HVAC sheet-metal shops, plumbing contractors, and maintenance technicians who run benchtop or floor-standing bandsaws in their shops.

Key Features

• Straight tooth form and straight rake angle for controlled, accurate cuts
• Flexible back type resists fatigue and supports contour cutting
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications
• Pre-welded to 175-inch length — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed to fit bandsaws that accept a 175-inch (14 feet 7 inches) blade with a 3/8-inch width. Verify wheel-to-wheel distance, blade guide clearance, and maximum blade width against the saw manufacturer specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the saw manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening the blade guards or removing the old blade. Inspect bandsaw wheels, blade guides, and tracking adjustment mechanisms before installing the new blade. Follow the saw manufacturer torque and tension specifications when tensioning the blade — do not over-tension, as this can cause premature blade fatigue or wheel damage.
