It measures 13 feet 11 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. The blade uses a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 5 to 8 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during the cut. High speed steel teeth are friction-welded to a flexible alloy steel back, combining edge hardness with resistance to blade fatigue. This blade is suited for production sawing on horizontal and vertical band saws operated by machinists, fabricators, and tool room technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is designed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals including structural steel, tubing, bar stock, aluminum, and copper alloy sections. The variable pitch configuration makes it a practical choice for cutting a mix of section thicknesses and profiles without swapping blades. A raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote consistent chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup at the cutting edge, extending blade life in continuous production use. It is appropriate for both light structural work and repetitive production cutting on industrial-grade band saws.\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 back for durability and fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varied material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, consistent chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form and flexible back type support contour-free, linear production cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications in a single blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a continuous loop ready for immediate installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for industrial band saws accepting a 1 inch wide by 0.035 inch thick blade in a 13 foot 11 inch loop length.

Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and blade tension settings are appropriate for a 1 inch wide bi-metal blade before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Do not exceed the band saw manufacturer's maximum blade speed rating for bi-metal blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 feet 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 to 8 (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: 4.3 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: 20699\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542367011122,"sku":"20699","price":179.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_220a3834-5183-40d9-85ed-de7a60f782f0.jpg?v=1785898799","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-20699-welded-bandsaw-blade-5-8-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
