Built on the Intenss PRO-VTH platform, it combines a flexible alloy steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life and consistent cut quality. The blade measures 12 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI. Ground teeth with a positive rake angle and raker tooth set promote aggressive, accurate cuts through solid stock. Licensed contractors, fabricators, and maintenance machinists are the primary installers of this blade type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 21571 is suited for contour cutting and straight cutting operations on steel and exotic steel materials. Variable pitch reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which extends blade life and improves surface finish on difficult alloys. It is appropriate for use in both production shop environments and job-site metal fabrication settings where consistent throughput on hard ferrous materials is required. The 12-foot welded loop format fits a range of vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept 1-inch wide blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth for cutting steel and exotic steel alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) reduces vibration and extends blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround cutting edge with positive rake angle for aggressive stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaker tooth set with straight tooth form for consistent chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible alloy steel back rated for contour cutting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction — 12 feet, ready to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit vertical and horizontal bandsaws that accept a 1-inch wide, 12-foot blade with 0.035-inch thickness.
