Lenox 1618D2C12127 Band Saw Blade Coil 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1618D2C12127 is a bi-metal band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations where shop-cut blade lengths are required. The coil measures 0.5 inches wide, 0.025 inches thick, and 250 feet long, providing substantial yield for custom blade fabrication. Teeth are high speed steel with a variable pitch pattern of 10-14 TPI and a modified raker set, delivering efficient chip clearance and reduced vibration across a range of material thicknesses. The flexible back construction resists fatigue and breakage during contour cutting. This coil is intended for professional fabrication shops, HVAC contractors, plumbers, and metalworking trades that weld their own blades to exact band saw frame requirements.

This coil stock is suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, conduit, tubing, structural shapes, and other materials encountered in mechanical trades. The variable pitch tooth geometry minimizes harmonic vibration, making it well-suited for thin-wall tubing, pipe, and varying cross-sections. Contour cutting capability is confirmed. Shops running vertical or horizontal band saws that require non-standard blade lengths benefit from coil stock over pre-joined blades. A blade welder is required to join cut lengths before use.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life
• Variable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality on variable-thickness stock
• Modified raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Flexible back resists fatigue cracking during contour and radius cuts
• 250-foot coil yields a high number of custom-length blades per coil
• Confirmed contour cutting capability for non-linear cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a shop-cut coil stock for use with band saw blade welders to produce custom-length blades for vertical and horizontal band saws requiring 0.5-inch-wide, 0.025-inch-thick bi-metal blades.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade fabrication from coil stock requires a properly calibrated blade welder and grinder to produce a clean, stress-free weld joint. De-energize and lock out the band saw before installing any blade. Ensure the finished blade length matches the wheel-to-wheel dimension specified by the saw manufacturer. Follow the band saw manufacturer tensioning guidelines and blade tracking procedures before making cuts.
