Lenox 18366CLB164930 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 18366CLB164930 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous contour cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 194 inches in total length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a 0.042-inch blade thickness. The variable pitch tooth pattern spans 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. Teeth are formed from M42 high speed steel, a cobalt-bearing alloy that holds an edge under the heat and friction of sustained cuts. This blade is a stock item for machine shops, fabrication shops, and maintenance crews running vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, structural shapes, tubing, and solid bar stock. The variable pitch design makes it effective on both thin-wall tubing and thicker solid sections without requiring a blade change. Typical users include machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians who require consistent, repeatable cuts on metal stock. The straight tooth form and contour-cutting capability allow for curved as well as straight cuts depending on machine setup.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life under high-heat cutting conditions
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• Bi-metal construction bonds a flexible alloy steel backer to a hardened tooth edge for fatigue resistance
• Welded blade loop in a 194-inch length fits standard industrial bandsaw frames
• 1-1/4-inch width supports contour cutting with adequate beam strength for straight cuts
• Straight tooth form provides clean, consistent chip formation on structural metals

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-stock welded bandsaw blade for industrial metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 194-inch by 1-1/4-inch blade.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully de-energized and the blade tension released before removing the old blade. Verify that blade guides, wheel tracking, and tension settings match the manufacturer specifications for a 1-1/4-inch wide blade before operating. Blade direction matters — confirm tooth orientation runs in the correct cutting direction before closing wheel guards. Follow ANSI B11.10 machine tool safety guidelines when servicing or operating metal-cutting bandsaws.
