Starrett 40097 Bi-metal Power Hacksaw Blade 10 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 40097 is a bi-metal power hacksaw blade designed for use in power hacksaw machines on metal-cutting applications. It measures 12 inches in length, 1.125 inches in width, and 0.05 inches thick, with a constant 10 TPI pitch pattern along the toothed edge. The bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel cutting edge to a flexible alloy steel backing, giving the blade resistance to breakage under the stress of power hacksaw cycling. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous stock will find this blade suited to general-purpose power hacksaw work.

This blade fits standard power hacksaw machines that accept 12-inch blades with a 1.125-inch width. The constant 10 TPI pitch is well suited for cutting solid bar stock, tubing, and structural sections of mild steel and similar materials. It is a common replacement blade for shop-floor power hacksaws used in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and job-site cutting operations where a reciprocating power saw is the tool of choice.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with power hacksaw equipment. Power down and lockout the machine before removing or installing any blade. Confirm the blade is seated fully on the pin-drive posts and that blade tension is set according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use.
