Starrett 19577 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19577 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous cutting in metal fabrication, woodworking, and plastic cutting applications. The blade measures 10 feet 8 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a constant 8 teeth per inch pitch. A raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance and cut quality across a range of materials. The flexible back type reduces blade fatigue during contour cutting operations. At 1.27 pounds, it is a lightweight, ready-to-install replacement for production and maintenance bandsaw operations.

This blade is suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and plywood. It is commonly installed on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and production environments. The constant pitch pattern makes it well matched to general-purpose cutting tasks where a single blade must handle multiple material types. Contour cutting capability allows operators to follow curved or radius cuts without blade binding.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for general-purpose durability
• Constant 8 TPI pitch for consistent chip clearance across material types
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup
• Flexible back type supports contour and radius cutting without premature fatigue
• Straight tooth form and straight rake angle deliver predictable, repeatable cuts
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 10-foot 8-inch blade length, 1-inch width, and 0.035-inch thickness. Verify your saw's blade capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model in use. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tracking and tension per the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as edges remain sharp regardless of tooth orientation.
