Lenox 14409RPB123660 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 14409RPB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 12 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.042 inches and a kerf width of 0.070 inches. The blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut. High speed steel M42 teeth are welded to a spring steel back, combining edge hardness with body flexibility. This construction is standard in the LENOX RX Plus series. Licensed tradespeople and shop machinists working with production bandsaw equipment will find this blade suited for high-cycle cutting environments.

This blade is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws that accept a 12-foot blade with a 1-1/4-inch width. The variable pitch Vari-Set tooth design is well matched to cutting structural shapes, solid bar stock, bundles, and mixed cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or load up. The positive rake angle supports aggressive feed rates on ferrous metals. Contour cutting is not the intended application for this blade. It is a straight-cut production blade suited to industrial and commercial metalworking shops.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting load evenly across the kerf
• Positive rake angle supports efficient chip removal and higher feed rates on ferrous materials
• Kerf width of 0.070 inches provides a clean, accurate cut with minimal material loss
• Part of the LENOX RX Plus series, designed for high-production metal cutting environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot, 1-1/4-inch wide blade with 0.042-inch thickness. Confirm blade length, width, and thickness specifications against your machine manufacturer requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the bandsaw manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before changing the blade. Verify proper blade tension and tracking adjustment after installation before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, and inspect the weld joint for integrity before mounting.
