Starrett 40264 Bi-metal Power Hacksaw Blade 17in 6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 40264 is a bi-metal power hacksaw blade designed for use in reciprocating power hacksaw machines. Measuring 17 inches in length and 1-3/8 inches wide with a thickness of 0.062 inches, this blade runs a constant pitch pattern at 6 teeth per inch (TPI). The bi-metal construction pairs a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel back, giving the blade durability under continuous cutting loads while resisting breakage from vibration. It is sized for industrial and trade shop power hacksaws and is suited for cutting structural steel, pipe, bar stock, and similar metal profiles.

This blade fits standard power hacksaw frames that accept 17-inch blades with a 0.281-inch pinhole diameter. It is used in fabrication shops, mechanical contractor shops, and maintenance facilities where a power hacksaw handles repetitive metal-cutting tasks. The 6 TPI constant pitch pattern is best matched to medium-section stock such as solid bar, heavy-wall tubing, and angle iron, where a coarser pitch clears chips efficiently and maintains feed rate.

Installation Notes

Power hacksaw blades should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Ensure the blade is tensioned according to the machine manufacturer's specifications and that the pinholes seat fully on the frame pins before operating. Inspect the blade and blade guides for alignment before resuming cutting operations.
