Lenox 1803380 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1803380 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines. Measuring 16 feet 1 inch in length and 1.25 inches wide, this blade uses a Variable Pitch tooth form with a Vari-Raker tooth set to reduce vibration and noise while improving cut quality. The cutting edge is built from M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the flexibility to resist fatigue and the hardness to cut through tough materials. It is a stock-length blade suited for production shops and general metal fabrication environments.

This blade is intended for cutting a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 5 to 8 TPI variable pitch range makes it versatile for varying wall thicknesses and cross-sections. It is used in professional metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance facilities where high-cycle cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous stock is routine. A licensed or experienced machinist or fabricator would typically mount and tension this blade.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws requiring a 16-foot 1-inch blade length with a 1.25-inch width. Confirm blade length, width, and thickness against your specific saw manufacturer specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator following the saw manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting a new one. Verify proper blade tension and tracking adjustment after installation before resuming cutting operations. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade during mounting.
