Lenox 1604D2C12127 Band Saw Blade Coil 100 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1604D2C12127 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations across a wide range of materials. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick, supplied in a 100-foot coil that allows field fabrication to any required length. The high speed steel tooth edge runs at a variable pitch of 6 to 10 teeth per inch, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut quality across varying material cross-sections. The modified raker tooth set and flexible back construction make this coil well-suited for contour cutting applications where blade conformity and consistent chip clearance matter.

This coil stock is used in fabrication shops, mechanical contracting environments, and industrial service settings where production band saw machines are in regular use. It is appropriate for cutting structural steel, pipe, tubing, and other metals commonly encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work. The flexible back design accommodates tighter radius cuts without fatigue cracking. Technicians and fabricators who maintain their own blade inventory will cut and weld lengths to match their specific saw wheel diameter and throat depth requirements.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back
• Variable pitch tooth pattern (6-10 TPI) reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varied cross-sections
• Modified raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation during metal cutting
• Flexible back construction supports contour cutting and resists fatigue cracking
• 100-foot coil allows custom blade lengths to be cut and welded on-site
• Toothed cutting edge rated for contour cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose bi-metal coil stock for production band saws that accept 0.5-inch-wide blades with a 0.025-inch blade thickness. Verify wheel diameter, gullet depth, and blade guide clearance on the host saw before cutting and welding to length.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and welding should be performed by a qualified technician using a dedicated blade welder and grinder. De-energize and lock out the band saw before installing or removing any blade. Ensure proper blade tension per the saw manufacturer specifications and confirm blade tracking before resuming cuts. Inspect the weld joint for alignment and smooth the flash before running the blade at speed.
