It measures 15 feet in length and 1-1\/4 inches in width with a 0.042-inch thickness. The blade uses a variable pitch tooth geometry at 5\/8 TPI with a positive rake angle, which delivers faster and straighter cuts with lower noise levels. The bi-metal construction pairs a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel backer, giving the blade durability under continuous workloads. Licensed HVAC techs, fabricators, and industrial maintenance professionals rely on this blade for cutting a wide range of metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for production-level cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines in both shop and field environments. It performs well on steels up to HRc 45, tool steels, stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, and non-ferrous alloys. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts, which improves surface finish quality and extends blade life in high-cycle environments. It is a practical choice for metal fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial contractors handling mixed material cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with high-speed steel teeth and flexible alloy backer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch at 5\/8 TPI reduces vibration and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle for easy penetration and faster cutting rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for steels up to HRc 45 including tool steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with nickel-based and non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces quality surface finish with low noise output during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or production-stock bi-metal bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 1-1\/4-inch-wide blade on a 15-foot loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw setup and blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify the blade tracking, tension, and guide bearing alignment before resuming cuts. Follow the saw manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure for new bi-metal blades to extend tooth life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 variable pitch TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees positive rake\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steels up to HRc 45, tool steel, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 99915-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524892524850,"sku":"99915-15","price":230.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce1f3d27bc92bf0d1fcbf17493badc52.jpg?v=1785460888","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-99915-15-bi-metal-bandsaw-blade-15-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
