Lenox 1606D2C12127 Band Saw Blade Coil 0.5 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1606D2C12127 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations across metalworking and general fabrication applications. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick, wound into a 100-foot coil that allows shops and field technicians to cut blades to the exact length required for their saw. The tooth edge is high speed steel with a variable pitch pattern of 10-14 teeth per inch and a modified raker set, which helps reduce vibration and extend blade life during interrupted cuts in varying material thicknesses.

This coil stock is suited for metal cutting in both production shop environments and trade service settings. The flexible back construction allows the blade to run on standard band saw wheels without stress cracking over time. Variable pitch tooth spacing makes this format well-suited for cutting tubing, structural shapes, and mixed cross-sections where a fixed pitch would chatter or bind. HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors who cut conduit, pipe, and strut regularly on job sites will find the coil format economical for high-volume use.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy back
• Variable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and chatter on irregular or mixed cross-section cuts
• Modified raker tooth set improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency
• Flexible back rated for contour cutting applications
• 100-foot coil format allows custom blade lengths for multiple saw sizes
• 0.025-inch blade thickness suits standard band saw blade guides without adjustment

Compatibility

Designed as a coil-stock replacement blade for band saws accepting 0.5-inch wide bi-metal blades. Compatible saw models and system families are not specified in available product data; verify kerf, width, and thickness tolerances against your saw manufacturer specifications before welding or installing.

Installation Notes

Blade welding and cutting should be performed by a qualified technician using a band saw blade welder and appropriate tooth-set tooling. Power down and de-energize the band saw completely before removing the old blade or threading a new one through the blade guides and wheel guards. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coil stock, as uncoiled blades can spring and cause laceration injuries. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for blade tension and tracking adjustment after installation.
