Measuring 15 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1\/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade carries a variable 5 to 8 teeth-per-inch pitch pattern that transitions cutting load across the tooth gullets, reducing vibration and extending blade life. The high speed steel teeth are set in a raker pattern with a positive rake angle, promoting aggressive chip evacuation on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is part of the Intenss PRO series and is installed by machinists and metal fabricators in shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for cutting ferrous metals such as mild steel, alloy steel, and structural shapes, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper. The variable pitch design handles varying cross-sections and wall thicknesses without chatter, making it a practical choice for structural tube, solid bar, and plate stock. The flexible back construction allows the blade to track smoothly around the bandsaw wheels without stress cracking over extended run time.\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 flex resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and extends blade service life on varied cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, clean chip removal in ferrous and non-ferrous metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch width and 0.042-inch thickness suited for medium to large-capacity horizontal and vertical band saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight tooth form and flexible back type support consistent tracking and reduced blade fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction shipped ready to install with no field welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on stationary band saw machines that accept a 15-foot 6-inch blade loop in 1-1\/4 inch width.

Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension specifications on the host machine before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blade stock. After installation, run the blade at reduced feed rate for a brief break-in period before applying full cutting load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 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: 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\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 6.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 21222\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542027829554,"sku":"21222","price":250.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24200e8ad6f3281f1b5ee27144de562d_f8b8bfcc-526e-42c3-944e-8e6551517059.jpg?v=1785890070","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-21222-welded-bandsaw-blade-5-8-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
