Built on the Intenss PRO-VTH series platform, it measures 14 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. The blade uses M42 high-speed steel teeth with a positive rake angle and a ground cutting edge for clean, accurate cuts. Variable pitch tooth spacing in the 4 to 6 TPI range reduces harmonic vibration and helps control chip load when cutting through varying cross-sections. Raker tooth set and straight tooth form make this blade well suited for contour cutting in steel and exotic steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is intended for use in industrial and professional bandsaw machines that accept a 14-foot 4-inch loop blade. It is a standard replacement or upgrade choice for shops cutting solid steel bar stock, structural profiles, and exotic alloys. The flexible back construction handles tight radii and contour paths without fatigue cracking under normal production conditions. Metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments regularly use blades in this class for production cutting and maintenance work on ferrous and specialty metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch 4-6 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish across varying cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle and ground cutting edge deliver aggressive, accurate material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form supports both straight and contour cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible back type resists fatigue cracking during contour and radius cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction provides a continuous loop ready to install without field joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 14-foot 4-inch by 1-inch wide blade with 0.035-inch thickness.

Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify wheel tracking, blade tension, and guide bearing clearance per the machine manufacturer's specifications before returning the saw to service. Do not exceed the blade speed rating of the host machine for the material being cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 feet 4 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: 4-6 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 (M42)\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\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Exotic Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intenss PRO-VTH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.6 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: 21554\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540498809138,"sku":"21554","price":197.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c6ee3ffa368866b490e35b3ae6f92cf3_2ae63a69-5f97-4928-862c-2f49d10655ec.jpg?v=1785856617","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-21554-welded-bandsaw-blade-4-6-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
