Starrett 19474 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19474 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting on stationary band saw machines. At 68.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches, this blade runs a constant 10 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form. The flexible back type allows the blade to handle the repeated stress of bandsaw operation without premature fatigue cracking. It is suited for shop environments where consistent, predictable cutting performance is required across a range of materials.

This blade is designed for contour cutting applications on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. Its constant pitch and raker tooth set make it a reliable choice for general-purpose production cutting in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The straight tooth rake angle produces clean, controlled cuts at moderate feed rates. Licensed trades and shop technicians handling metal fabrication or mechanical maintenance work will find this blade appropriate for daily-use bandsaw operations.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for both blade body and tooth material
• Constant 10 TPI pitch for consistent chip load across a range of material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set reduces blade deflection and improves cut straightness
• Flexible back type resists fatigue cracking under continuous bandsaw cycling
• Supports contour cutting on ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood
• Welded blade design for direct drop-in replacement on compatible band saw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary band saw machines accepting a 68.5-inch blade length, 0.5-inch blade width, and 0.025-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect power to the band saw and release blade tension fully before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Confirm blade guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted after mounting to prevent blade wander or premature edge wear. Consult the band saw manufacturer's service documentation for correct tension settings specific to the machine model.
