Lenox 15186D2B103050 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 15186D2B103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting in professional metal fabrication and general-purpose shop environments. The blade measures 10 feet in length and 1/2 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a 14 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch for consistent chip load across a range of materials. The tooth tips are M42 high speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade that holds an edge under elevated cutting temperatures. A spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during extended use. This blade is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication professionals.

This blade is suited for contour cutting and straight cutting on vertical or horizontal bandsaws used in light industrial, manufacturing, and trade shop settings. The 14 TPI standard pitch with a single-level tooth set and straight tooth form handles a broad range of stock thicknesses. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood, making it a practical general-purpose blade for mixed-material shops.

Key Features

• M42 bi-metal construction with high speed steel tooth tips for extended edge life on hard materials
• Spring steel back for flexibility and resistance to blade fatigue under continuous load
• 14 TPI constant pitch with single-level tooth set for consistent chip clearance
• Straight tooth form and no rake angle for controlled, stable cuts across varied stock
• Kerf width of 0.0580 inches for predictable material removal and accurate dimensioning
• Contour cutting capable for curved or irregular workpiece profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 10-foot by 1/2-inch blade. Suitable for use across alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood applications.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade width and length are compatible with the saw's wheel diameter and guide spacing before mounting. Use appropriate blade guides and tension settings as specified by the bandsaw manufacturer. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to prevent laceration.
