Lenox 1603D2C3895 Band Saw Blade Coil 3/8 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1603D2C3895 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations in metalworking, fabrication, and mechanical service environments. The coil measures 100 feet in length at 3/8 inch wide and 0.025 inch thick, giving shops and service techs the material to cut custom blade lengths as needed. The high speed steel tooth edge runs in a variable pitch pattern of 10-14 TPI with a modified raker set, suited for cutting a range of cross-sections and material thicknesses. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working with band saws in metal cutting applications rely on this format to minimize waste and maintain a consistent blade supply on the floor.

This coil stock is appropriate for use in horizontal and vertical band saw machines found in HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing and mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance facilities. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run on standard band saw wheels without fatigue cracking during normal operation. The toothed cutting edge and variable pitch reduce harmonic vibration and chatter when cutting tubing, bar stock, and structural shapes. Any shop requiring custom-length blades from coil rather than pre-welded loops will find this format practical for high-volume or varied cutting work.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back
• Variable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• Modified raker tooth set for efficient chip clearance in metal cutting
• Flexible back resists fatigue and cracking during continuous band saw operation
• 100-foot coil allows field or shop cutting to any required blade length
• Toothed edge design supports contour cutting capability

Compatibility

Designed as coil stock for standard band saw machines that accept 3/8 inch wide blades; blade lengths are cut and welded to specification by the end user or a blade welding service.

Installation Notes

Cutting and welding coil stock to finished blades should be performed by a qualified technician using a blade welder appropriate for bi-metal material. De-energize and lock out the band saw before removing an old blade or installing a new one, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled blade stock, as the material is under tension and the teeth are sharp. Verify wheel diameter and guide spacing on the saw match the 3/8 inch blade width before installation.
