Starrett 20633 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 14ft 6in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 20633 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade from the Intenss PRO series, designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial settings. The blade measures 14 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 4-6 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible alloy steel back with high-speed steel teeth, allowing the blade to absorb vibration while maintaining cutting edge integrity through hard and interrupted cuts. It is installed and serviced by machinists, millwrights, and metal fabricators using horizontal or vertical band saws.

The 20633 is suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including structural steel, tubing, pipe, angle iron, aluminum, and brass. The variable 4-6 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is especially beneficial when sawing workpieces of varying cross-section or bundled stock. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote chip clearance and consistent feed rates across a range of material thicknesses. This blade is appropriate for production and intermittent-use band saws found in job shops, maintenance departments, and metal service centers.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: flexible alloy steel back with high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 4-6 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varying cross-sections
• Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation during straight cuts
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggressiveness on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.035-inch blade thickness suited to standard 1-inch band saw wheel clearances
• Welded blade delivered ready to install — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stocking blade for horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 1-inch wide, 14-foot 6-inch welded blade. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify blade tracking, tension, and guide bearing clearance after installation per the saw manufacturer specifications. Do not exceed the blade speed rating appropriate for the material being cut.
