Starrett 40098 Bi-metal Power Hacksaw Blade 14 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 40098 is a bi-metal power hacksaw blade designed for use in reciprocating power hacksaw machines. It measures 12 inches in length, 1-1/8 inches wide, and 0.05 inches thick, with a 14 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch pattern and a toothed edge configuration. The bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth edge to a flexible alloy steel back, delivering cutting durability and resistance to blade fatigue under sustained power-tool operation. Pinhole diameter measures 0.281 inches for proper mounting on standard power hacksaw arbors. This blade is sold individually and suits metal fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical trade applications.

This blade is suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in power hacksaw applications. The 14 TPI constant pitch is appropriate for medium-section stock including structural steel, bar stock, pipe, and tubing. It is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators working with floor-standing or bench-mounted power hacksaw equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics familiar with power hacksaw equipment. Power down and unplug the machine before removing or installing any blade. Verify blade tension according to the hacksaw manufacturer specifications and confirm the pinhole seats fully on the arbor pin before operation. Inspect blade alignment and guard placement before resuming cuts.
