Starrett 19578 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19578 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous contour cutting in professional shop and trade environments. The blade measures 10 feet 8 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a constant 10 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form deliver consistent chip clearance across a range of materials. The flexible back type reduces blade fatigue during curved or contour cuts, making it well-suited for production and maintenance work where blade life and cut quality matter.

This blade is built for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines in commercial shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. It supports cutting of ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, giving technicians and machinists a single blade option across mixed-material workloads. The constant pitch design provides predictable feed rates and surface finish. This blade is installed by machinists, millwrights, or tool room technicians as a direct replacement or new-stock bandsaw consumable.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 1-inch wide blade with a 10-foot 8-inch loop length. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool room technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming operation. Inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear before installing a new blade. Confirm the machine blade capacity matches the 1-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness of this blade prior to installation.
