Starrett 19573 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19573 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop installation on standard bandsaw machines. At 128 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, with a 0.032-inch blade thickness, this blade is built for consistent contour and straight-line cutting across a range of shop and trade applications. The 6 TPI constant-pitch tooth configuration delivers a reliable cut rate on moderate-thickness stock. A raker tooth set and straight tooth form help clear chips efficiently and maintain blade tracking during extended cuts. Licensed trades and production shops typically reach for this blade when consistent performance across varied material types is required.

The 19573 is suited for use on vertical bandsaws in both shop and light industrial environments. Its constant pitch and raker set make it a practical choice for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood cutting. The flexible back construction supports contour cutting applications in addition to straight cuts. It is a single-blade unit packaged individually, making it a straightforward replacement or first-install option when a machine requires a specific loop length.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 128-inch loop blade with a 0.75-inch width and 0.032-inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator or shop technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing this one. Verify wheel spacing and blade guide clearance match the 0.75-inch blade width before tensioning. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended tensioning range for carbon steel blades of this thickness.
