Starrett 40101 Bi-metal Power Hacksaw Blade 14in 6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 40101 is a bi-metal power hacksaw blade designed for use in stationary and reciprocating power hacksaw machines. At 14 inches in length with a 6 TPI (teeth per inch) constant pitch pattern, it delivers aggressive, efficient cuts through a range of metal stock. The blade measures 1.375 inches wide and 0.062 inches thick with a toothed edge profile. Bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth edge to a flexible alloy steel back, combining cutting hardness with resistance to blade fatigue and breakage. Metalworking shops and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this blade type.

This blade is suited for power hacksaw applications in industrial, commercial, and heavy maintenance environments. The 6 TPI pitch is appropriate for cutting thicker cross-sections of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, structural shapes, bar stock, and pipe. The constant pitch pattern provides consistent chip clearance and uniform cutting action across the full stroke. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement for worn or broken blades in machines that accept the standard 14-inch power hacksaw blade format.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction combines a high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy steel back for extended blade life
• 6 TPI constant pitch pattern for efficient cutting of thick metal cross-sections
• 14 inches length with 1.375 inches width and 0.062 inches thickness fits standard power hacksaw frames
• Toothed edge profile for consistent material removal on each stroke
• Pinhole diameter of 0.281 inches for proper pin-drive fitment in compatible machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for power hacksaw machines that accept 14-inch bi-metal blades with a standard pin-drive mounting configuration.

Installation Notes

Power hacksaw blade replacement is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine completely before removing or installing any blade. Ensure blade tension is set according to the machine manufacturer's guidelines and that pinholes are fully seated before resuming operation. Handle blade edges with appropriate cut-resistant gloves to prevent injury during installation.
