Lenox 14297D2B164875 Bandsaw Blade 16 Ft 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 14297D2B164875 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of materials. Measuring 16 feet in length and 1/2 inch in width with a 0.025-inch blade thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form spanning 10 to 14 TPI, which helps reduce vibration and noise during cuts while improving feed rates. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance well beyond standard carbon-steel blades. The spring steel back provides the flexibility and fatigue resistance needed for continuous bandsawing operations. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working with metal-cutting band saws will find this blade suited to production and job-site cutting alike.

This blade is designed for contour cutting and straight cutting across a broad material application range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern make it especially effective when cutting irregular cross-sections or bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. It fits horizontal and vertical band saw machines configured for 16-foot blade length and 1/2-inch blade width.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch tooth form (10 to 14 TPI) reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes chip clearance and consistent cutting performance
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles
• 0.0430-inch kerf width minimizes material waste during cuts
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed for band saw machines configured to accept a 16-foot welded blade with 1/2-inch width. Verify blade length, width, and thickness specifications against your saw's requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect power to the saw and relieve all blade tension before removing the old blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during uncoiling and threading. After installation, set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
