Starrett 19579 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19579 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for contour cutting on vertical and horizontal band saws. At 13 feet 11 inches in length and 0.032 inches thick, this blade carries a 5/8-inch width with a constant 10 TPI (teeth per inch) pitch. The straight raker tooth set delivers consistent chip clearance and predictable cuts through a range of materials. It is suited for professional metalworking, fabrication, and light manufacturing environments where reliable, repeatable cuts are required by skilled tradespeople and machine operators.

The 19579 blade is built for contour cutting applications in ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The constant 10 TPI pitch makes it a practical choice for production cutting of uniform stock thicknesses. It fits band saw machines that accept 13-foot 11-inch loop blades with 5/8-inch wide, 0.032-inch thick profiles. Typical applications include metal fabrication shops, millwork operations, and maintenance departments that run continuous-loop band saws for repeat cuts.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's lockout/tagout procedure before opening blade guards. Always verify that wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the machine match the blade width and thickness specifications before installing. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
