Starrett 20714 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft Bi-metal 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 20714 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and maintenance environments. Part of the Intenss PRO series, it measures 11 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade runs a variable pitch of 3 to 4 teeth per inch with a positive rake angle and raker tooth set, a combination that reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation when cutting a range of metal stock. The high speed steel teeth are bonded to a flexible back, providing resistance to tooth strippage under load while allowing the blade to track consistently on the bandsaw wheels.

This blade is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting on vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept an 11-foot blade. Typical applications include structural steel, angle iron, tube, pipe, and aluminum bar stock. The variable pitch and raker set make it a versatile choice for shops that cut mixed cross-sections and material types without swapping blades frequently. It is sized and configured for production or heavy job-shop use where blade life and cut quality are both priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back for long service life
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish on varied cross-sections
• Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Positive rake angle improves cutting efficiency and reduces feed force requirements
• Straight tooth form paired with flexible back construction resists cracking under continuous bandsaw cycling
• Part of the Intenss PRO series, designed for high-performance metal-cutting service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fit for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws requiring an 11-foot welded bi-metal blade that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable safety procedures before opening the blade guards. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specification on the saw before mounting to confirm the 11-foot blade length is correct for the machine. Gloves are recommended when handling bandsaw blades due to sharp tooth edges. Follow the saw manufacturer tensioning guidelines and allow a short break-in period at reduced feed rate to seat the tooth set before cutting at full capacity.
