The blade measures 186 inches in length and 1-1\/4 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.042 inches. It runs a variable pitch pattern at 3 to 4 teeth per inch, which helps reduce vibration and harmonic noise during cuts. The high speed steel tooth tips are set in a raker pattern with a positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient material removal. This blade is installed and serviced by machinists, fabricators, and metal tradespeople working with vertical or horizontal band saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 20655 is suited for cutting a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in production and job-shop settings. The variable pitch design makes it effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles where consistent chip load control matters. The flexible back type allows the blade to run on standard bandsaw wheel configurations without fatigue cracking over normal service cycles. The Intenss PRO series targets demanding metal-cutting applications where blade life and cut quality are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible backing for extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish on metal stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form provides consistent cutting geometry across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type resists fatigue cracking during continuous operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction ensures a seamless loop for balanced tracking on bandsaw wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style welded bandsaw blade replacement for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 186-inch blade loop at 1-1\/4 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and wheel alignment procedures. Power down and lockout the bandsaw completely before removing the worn blade or installing the new one. Verify wheel guides, blade guards, and tension settings match the blade width and thickness specifications before operation. Follow the machine manufacturer's tensioning guidelines for 1-1\/4-inch bi-metal blades to avoid premature weld fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 186 inches (15 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 to 4 (Variable Pitch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20655\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543465034034,"sku":"20655","price":250.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_7d6a25ab-0fad-46e9-a2d9-93a0beeb0656.jpg?v=1785919019","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-20655-welded-bandsaw-blade-3-4-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
