Starrett 20650 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 20650 is a bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in professional shop and production environments. It measures 12 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a blade thickness of 0.042 inches. The cutting edge runs at a variable pitch of 3 to 4 teeth per inch with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle, characteristics that promote aggressive yet controlled cutting action across a range of metal stock profiles. The high-speed steel tooth material resists heat and wear under sustained load. This blade belongs to the Intenss PRO series and is suited for licensed trade and industrial maintenance technicians who require consistent performance from their bandsaw equipment.

The STARRETT 20650 is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in metal fabrication, industrial maintenance, and mechanical contracting applications. The variable pitch design helps reduce harmonic vibration during cuts, making it well suited for structural shapes, solid bar, and tube stock in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The flexible back type accommodates the blade guides and wheels of standard band sawing machines. This blade is sold individually and is appropriate for shops where precision blade specification is required for the workpiece material at hand.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before mounting. Blade tracking and tension should be set according to the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming cuts. Blade weld integrity should be inspected prior to first use.
