It measures 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) in length, 1-1\/4 inches in width, and 0.042 inches in thickness. The blade runs a variable pitch of 2-3 TPI with a raker tooth set and a positive rake angle, which reduces vibration and helps maintain consistent chip load across a range of material thicknesses. High speed steel teeth are electron-beam welded to a flexible alloy steel back, giving the blade both edge retention and resistance to fatigue cracking under tension. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and metal-cutting shops are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is designed for metal-cutting vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept a 174-inch (14 feet 6 inches) loop blade with a 1-1\/4-inch width. The variable 2-3 TPI pitch makes it well suited for structural steel, solid bar stock, tubing, and angle iron, as well as non-ferrous materials such as aluminum and copper alloy sections. It is appropriate for both production cutting environments and job-shop applications where the operator needs a single blade that handles variable cross-sections without frequent blade changes.\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 back for durability and fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 2-3 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and extends blade life on variable-thickness workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle improves cutting aggression and chip clearance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set provides consistent, straight cuts through solid stock and structural shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.042-inch blade thickness suited to standard 1-1\/4-inch bandsaw wheel and guide configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntenss PRO series construction targets demanding production cutting cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 174-inch loop length and 1-1\/4-inch blade width.

Verify wheel tracking, blade tension, and guide bearing clearance according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before powering the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade during installation. Inspect weld integrity and blade back for cracks or kinks before mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 174 inches (14 feet 6 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: 2-3 (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: 6.4 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: 20726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544094966066,"sku":"20726","price":235.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_09bf7b40-a272-4536-82ab-5a6401faec8f.jpg?v=1785924046","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-20726-welded-bandsaw-blade-2-3-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
