Starrett 22013 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 10 Tpi Carbon Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 22013 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade designed for continuous-loop cutting on stationary bandsaw machines. Part of the Duratec SFB series, it measures 12 feet in length and 1/2 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant-pitch configuration and straight raker tooth set deliver controlled, consistent material removal across a range of workpiece materials. The flexible back type reduces fatigue cracking during operation, extending blade service life. This blade is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments where reliable contour and straight cutting are required.

The STARRETT 22013 is rated for contour cutting and handles ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastic, and plywood. The straight tooth rake angle and raker set pattern make it a practical choice for general-purpose shop cutting where a single blade must handle varied material types. It is typically installed on floor-standing or bench-top bandsaws that accept 12-foot welded loop blades with a 1/2-inch width. A single blade is supplied per package.

Key Features

• 12-foot welded loop — ready to install with no additional brazing or welding required
• 10 TPI constant-pitch tooth pattern for smooth, consistent cuts across multiple materials
• Straight raker tooth set optimized for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous cutting
• Flexible back construction reduces stress cracking and extends blade fatigue life
• Duratec SFB series carbon steel construction — blade and tooth material matched for durability
• Contour cutting capable for curved and straight cut profiles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit blade for stationary bandsaw machines configured to accept a 12-foot welded loop blade measuring 1/2 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade width capacity against machine specifications before fitting. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning guidelines — improper tension is the leading cause of premature blade breakage and tracking failure.
