Starrett 20691 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft 3/4 in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 20691 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in professional shop and field applications. Measuring 11 feet in length and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035 inch wall thickness, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws where consistent, clean cuts are required. The variable pitch tooth pattern, ranging from 4 to 6 TPI, reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during the cut, which extends blade life and improves surface finish. High speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible back make this Intenss PRO series blade a reliable choice for production cutting environments.

This blade is suited for general-purpose metal cutting in maintenance, fabrication, and manufacturing settings. The raker tooth set and positive rake angle make it effective on solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing in both ferrous alloys and non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper. The flexible back resists fatigue under continuous cycling, making it appropriate for high-volume cutting operations where blade longevity matters. Licensed contractors, maintenance machinists, and fabrication shops are the primary installers and end users of this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on metal stock
• Variable pitch 4-6 TPI pattern reduces vibration and chatter during cutting
• Raker tooth set with positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cut efficiency
• Flexible back resists fatigue under continuous or high-cycle cutting conditions
• Welded construction for consistent blade tension and tracking on bandsaw wheels
• Rated for ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications

Compatibility

Designed for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept an 11-foot welded blade at 3/4 inch width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals as stated by the manufacturer. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade width capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with bandsaw setup and tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Confirm blade tracking and tension per the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are required when handling bandsaw blades.
