Starrett 20660 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 20660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) long and 1-1/4 inches wide, it fits standard industrial vertical bandsaws in shop and fabrication environments. The blade runs at 0.042 inches thick with a 4-6 TPI variable pitch and a raker tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts. The high speed steel teeth are set on a flexible back, combining edge durability with resistance to blade fatigue during long cutting cycles. Licensed contractors and millwrights specify this blade for structural stock, tubing, and bar stock work.

The STARRETT 20660 is suited for ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal cutting in production and maintenance shop settings. The Intenss PRO series variable pitch design makes it appropriate for cutting structural steel, pipe, tubing, angle iron, and similar bar stock where consistent chip clearance and reduced blade noise are priorities. It is a welded loop blade intended for vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 1-1/4 inch wide blade in the 14-foot 6-inch loop length. Installation requires no additional joining — the factory weld is ready to mount.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back
• Variable pitch 4-6 TPI raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life on structural stock
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Straight tooth form with raker set for consistent, repeatable cuts
• Factory-welded loop — no field joining required
• Intenss PRO series design for demanding production cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed for vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 1-1/4 inch wide blade in a 174-inch (14 feet 6 inches) loop length. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal stock.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified maintenance personnel or machine operators familiar with the equipment. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before opening the blade guards or removing the existing blade. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements during installation and setup.
