Lenox 18416CLB134065 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 18416CLB134065 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 13 feet 4 inches in length and 1 inch in width, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth for long service life under high heat and load. The variable pitch design, running 5 to 8 TPI, reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, producing a cleaner cut and extending blade life across a range of material thicknesses. Blade thickness is 0.035 inches with a kerf width of 0.058 inches. Installation and cutting are handled by metal fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians operating vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop cutting of a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern make it particularly effective on bundles, structural shapes, and solid rounds where consistent chip clearance is critical. It is not designed for contour cutting and performs best in straight-line production cuts on power band saws sized to accept a 13-foot 4-inch blade.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for heat resistance and extended edge life in metal cutting
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varied cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip evacuation and reduces blade deflection
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance through repeated flexing on the saw wheel
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with 0.058-inch kerf minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction for a seamless joint suited to continuous-loop band saw operation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-supply welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 13-foot 4-inch blade loop that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the old blade or seating the new one. Verify blade tension and wheel tracking per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming cuts. Gloves are recommended when handling bandsaw blades due to sharp tooth edges.
