Starrett 21567 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 21567 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial settings. Built on the Intenss PRO-VTH series platform, this blade measures 11 feet in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. The variable-pitch tooth pattern ranges from 4 to 6 TPI, reducing vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts. Tooth material is M42 high speed steel, ground to a positive rake angle with a raker tooth set. The flexible back construction resists fatigue through the continuous stress of bandsaw operation.

This blade is suited for cutting steel and exotic steel alloys in both production and maintenance environments. The variable-pitch design handles a range of stock profiles, including solid bar, structural shapes, and tubing, without requiring blade changes between setups. Contour cutting is supported, making it a viable option for shops that work with irregular profiles or curved cuts. It is typically installed on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaw machines by machinists and fabricators.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life on metal stock
• M42 high speed steel teeth with ground cutting edge for clean, accurate cuts
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cut efficiency on steel and exotic alloys
• Raker tooth set provides consistent chip load across the cut width
• Flexible back resists fatigue cracking under continuous bandsaw cycling
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept an 11-foot by 1-inch bi-metal blade in the Intenss PRO-VTH series configuration.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout-tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and throat capacity on the machine before mounting to confirm the 11-foot loop length is compatible. Tension the blade according to the machine manufacturer's specification for 1-inch bi-metal blades. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to prevent lacerations.
