Starrett 19581 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Ft 6 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 19581 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade from the Duratec SFB series, designed for continuous-loop installation on stationary band saws. At 14 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it is sized for mid-range industrial and shop-class saws. The blade runs a constant 6 TPI pitch with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, a configuration that balances chip clearance with cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. Machinists, fabricators, and skilled tradespeople who operate bandsaw equipment are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour cutting and straight-line resawing in production and job-shop environments. Rated material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood, making it a versatile option where a single blade needs to handle mixed stock. The flexible back type reduces blade fatigue during curved cuts and extended run cycles. The 6 TPI constant pitch is most effective on solid stock and thick-walled sections where aggressive chip evacuation is needed.

Key Features

• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction for blade body and tooth material
• 6 TPI constant pitch with raker tooth set for efficient chip clearance
• Straight tooth form with straight rake angle for controlled, consistent cuts
• Flexible back type reduces stress cracking during contour and curved cutting
• Rated for ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood applications
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for direct installation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for stationary band saws accepting a 14-foot blade length, 1 inch width, and 0.035 inch thickness. Verify your saw wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician following the saw manufacturer's blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before changing the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel brush condition should be inspected at each blade change.
