Starrett 19576 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19576 is a welded bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, built for continuous cutting in metal fabrication and general trade applications. The blade measures 10 feet 8 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a constant-pitch 6 TPI (teeth per inch) configuration. Tooth geometry is straight rake with a raker set, which clears chips efficiently during straight and contour cuts. The blade body and teeth are both carbon steel with a flexible back, making it well-suited to bandsaw wheels that operate at standard bandsaw speeds across a range of material types.

This blade is designed for contour and straight-line cutting in ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. It fits bandsaws that accept blades of 10 feet 8 inches in circumference with a 1-inch width and 0.035-inch gauge. Typical install scenarios include production floor bandsaws and shop-grade vertical bandsaws used in HVAC fab shops, plumbing supply shops, and general metalworking environments. The 6 TPI constant pitch is a practical all-around choice for stock removal on moderate to thick cross-sections.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel blade with flexible back for reliable tracking on standard bandsaw wheels
• 6 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load across a range of material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set with straight rake angle for efficient chip evacuation in metal and plastic
• Contour cutting capable in addition to straight cuts
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications
• Welded construction for a continuous loop with no mechanical joint

Compatibility

Fits bandsaws accepting a blade with a 10-foot 8-inch loop length, 1-inch width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the saw fully powered down and unplugged before blade changes begin. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearances match the 1-inch blade width before tensioning. Safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves are standard PPE when handling and coiling bandsaw blades. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedure before resuming cuts.
