Starrett 99206-09 Welded Bandsaw Blade 9 Ft 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The STARRETT 99206-09 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals in industrial and fabrication shop environments. Part of the Intenss PRO series, it measures 9 feet in length and 3/4 inch wide with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The variable pitch tooth pattern, ranging from 6 to 10 TPI, reduces harmonic vibration and helps control chip load across varying material cross-sections. High speed steel teeth with a positive rake angle are bonded to a flexible carbon steel back, combining cutting performance with resistance to blade fatigue. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabrication professionals are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for production bandsaw cutting of ferrous metals such as structural steel, carbon steel, and alloy stock, as well as non-ferrous metals including aluminum and brass. The raker tooth set and straight tooth form make it appropriate for general-purpose metal cutting where a variety of stock shapes and section sizes are encountered. Typical applications include job shop sawing, maintenance and repair facilities, and light manufacturing environments running vertical or horizontal band saws that accept a 9-foot blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across mixed material thicknesses
• Positive rake angle tooth geometry promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal in metal cutting
• Raker tooth set provides consistent chip clearance and stable tracking in metal bandsaws
• Flexible back design resists fatigue and cracking through continuous band saw cycling
• Welded construction delivers a ready-to-install loop with no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting band saws accepting a 9-foot blade length and 3/4-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician with the saw fully de-energized and isolated from its power source before any blade change. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host saw before mounting to ensure the 9-foot loop length and 3/4-inch width are compatible. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted per the saw manufacturer's guidelines after blade installation. Follow all applicable shop safety protocols and wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the uncoiled blade.
