At 15 feet 8 inches in length and 1-1\/4 inches wide, this blade is built for mid- to large-frame vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines. The blade runs at a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle, which promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting in a range of metal stock profiles. The bi-metal construction pairs a flexible steel back with high-speed steel teeth, extending tooth life under demanding production conditions. Weighing 6.8 pounds, this blade is suited for professional metal fabrication and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 20656 is intended for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals including structural steel, aluminum, copper, and similar stock. The variable pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic chatter across varying cross-sections, making it a practical choice for shops cutting both solid bar and tubing in the same setup. The 0.042-inch blade thickness and flexible back type allow the blade to track reliably on standard bandsaw wheel configurations without excessive stress at the weld joint. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians in job shop, production, and industrial service environments.\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 alloy steel back for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 3-4 TPI reduces vibration and chatter when cutting varied cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal in metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form supports consistent, repeatable cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-welded loop format eliminates field welding and allows direct installation on compatible saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntenss PRO series construction engineered for demanding industrial metal-cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on bandsaw machines that accept a 15-foot 8-inch loop blade, 1-1\/4 inches wide and 0.042 inches thick, for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metal stock.

Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the bandsaw before changing blades. Set blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's specifications, and confirm blade guides are properly adjusted to the blade width before resuming operation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 feet 8 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 (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-4 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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metal, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.8 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: 20656\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538839142706,"sku":"20656","price":258.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d6a9a11e5397dfc4861515ec96946088.jpg?v=1785828027","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-20656-welded-bandsaw-blade-3-4-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
