Lenox 1617D2C12127 Band Saw Blade Coil 1/2 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1617D2C12127 is a bi-metal band saw blade sold as coil stock, giving fabricators and service techs the ability to cut blades to exact working lengths on-site. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick, with a 250-foot coil length that supports high-volume shops or field service operations. The cutting edge uses a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 8 to 12 teeth per inch, which reduces vibration and harmonic resonance across a range of material thicknesses. The flexible back resists fatigue cracking during contour cuts and tight-radius work. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service regularly use this blade stock for cutting pipe, conduit, unistrut, and structural metal.

This coil stock is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a fixed-length blade is impractical. It is especially useful in shops that run multiple band saw frame sizes or need to replace blades frequently. The variable pitch tooth geometry handles thin-wall tubing, solid bar stock, and structural sections without requiring a blade change. The modified raker tooth set clears chips efficiently and helps maintain cut accuracy during extended use. Installers working in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades will find the 250-foot coil a cost-effective alternative to pre-cut blade packs.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back
• Variable pitch 8-12 TPI tooth pattern reduces vibration and suits a wide range of material cross-sections
• Modified raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent cut quality
• Flexible back design supports contour cutting and resists fatigue cracking
• 250-foot coil length allows custom blade sizing for multiple saw frame configurations
• 0.025-inch blade thickness maintains kerf efficiency while providing structural rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a field-cut coil stock for use in standard band saw frames that accept 1/2-inch wide bi-metal blades. Verify your saw frame's blade width, thickness, and length specifications before cutting and welding.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade coil stock requires cutting to length and blade welding using a butt welder before installation in a saw frame. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling unspooled coil stock, as the blade edges are sharp and the coil can spring unexpectedly. Confirm proper blade tension per the saw manufacturer's guidelines after installation.
