Lenox 1601D2C3895 Band Saw Blade Coil 3/8 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1601D2C3895 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations in professional shop and field environments. The coil spans 100 feet and can be cut to any required blade length, making it a practical choice for service shops that maintain multiple band saw sizes. At 3/8 inch wide and 0.025 inch thick, the blade runs a variable pitch of 14-18 teeth per inch, balancing cut speed with surface finish across a range of material thicknesses. The high-speed steel tooth tips are joined to a flexible back, allowing the blade to run smoothly around band saw wheels without premature fatigue cracking.

This coil stock suits metal-cutting band saws used in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical contractor shops, as well as fabrication and maintenance environments. The variable pitch tooth pattern reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, which is particularly useful when cutting pipe, conduit, structural steel, and tubing at varying wall thicknesses. The wavy tooth set helps clear chips efficiently and reduces blade loading on thin or interrupted cuts. Technicians who weld their own blades will cut lengths from the coil to match their specific saw wheel diameter and throat depth.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 14-18 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish across varying material thicknesses
• Wavy tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• 100-foot coil allows custom blade lengths to be welded to fit multiple saw configurations
• 0.025 inch blade thickness suits standard 3/8 inch band saw wheel profiles
• Flexible back resists fatigue cracking under continuous band saw wheel flex

Compatibility

Designed for use with metal-cutting band saws that accept 3/8 inch wide blade stock. Confirm wheel diameter, gullet depth, and welder capacity before cutting and joining lengths from the coil.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and welding should be performed by a qualified technician using an appropriate blade welder and grinder. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing an old blade or installing a new one. Ensure the blade tracking and tension are set per the saw manufacturer specifications before running the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coil stock, as uncoiled blade sections can spring unexpectedly.
