Take your woodworking to the next level with the Starrett® Duratec™ SFB 4 TPI hook tooth bandsaw blade. Made from premium carbon steel, this blade delivers exceptional durability, flexibility, and long-lasting sharpness for both professional shops and serious hobbyists.

Notes:
- Consider the following when selecting a bandsaw blade:
- Blade Length: Check the user's manual or manufacturer's website for details.
- Blade Width (Straight Cuts): Use the widest blade possible.
- Blade Width (Circle or Radius Cuts): The smaller the blade width, the smaller the radius, or tighter the circle you will be able to cut out.
- Pitch/Teeth Per Inch (TPI): Choose a coarser pitch if the speed of the cut is most important. Choose a fine pitch if the finish is most important.
- Tooth design or the combination of these variables (tooth shape, position, set, type and spacing) will determine whether the blade can move through your material without binding or becoming clogged with chips.
