Starrett 40062 Power Hacksaw Blade 17 in 6 Tpi Hss

Product Description

The STARRETT 40062 is a high speed steel power hacksaw blade designed for use in reciprocating power hacksaw machines. It measures 17 inches in length, 1-1/4 inches in width, and 0.062 inches in thickness. The blade runs a constant pitch pattern at 6 teeth per inch (TPI), making it well suited for cutting through larger cross-section stock where aggressive material removal is needed. High speed steel construction maintains edge hardness under the heat generated by power hacksaw operation. This blade is sold individually and is a standard replacement or working-stock item for machine shops, fabrication facilities, and trade contractors who run power hacksaws on-site.

The 40062 fits power hacksaw machines that accept 17-inch blades with a toothed edge and pinhole mounting. At 6 TPI, this blade is appropriate for cutting mild steel, structural steel, and similarly sized ferrous stock. It is a common choice in fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance environments where large-diameter or thick-walled material is cut regularly. The constant pitch pattern delivers consistent chip clearance throughout the cut.

Key Features

• 17-inch blade length fits standard power hacksaw machines with pinhole mounting
• 6 TPI constant pitch pattern optimized for thick stock and aggressive cuts

• 1-1/4-inch blade width provides lateral rigidity under power feed pressure
• 0.062-inch blade thickness is a standard power hacksaw gauge
• Toothed edge with 0.335-inch pinhole diameter for positive machine registration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for power hacksaw machines that accept 17-inch blades with pinhole mounting and a 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Power hacksaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out before service. Ensure blade tension is set according to the machine manufacturer's specification using the machine's built-in tensioning mechanism. Inspect blade guides and rollers for wear before installing a new blade, as worn guides accelerate blade breakage. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures when handling blades with exposed teeth.
