Lenox 18490CLB134140 Bandsaw Blade 13ft7in 1in 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 18490CLB134140 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. It measures 163 inches (13 feet 7 inches) in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a variable 10 to 14 TPI tooth pattern. The blade combines a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering durability under continuous cutting loads. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern reduce vibration and harmonics during the cut, making it well suited for portable and stationary bandsaw use. Licensed trades and fabricators working with structural and tool steels will find this blade a reliable production choice.

This blade is designed for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It fits bandsaws that accept a 163-inch blade with a 1-inch width. The variable tooth form and Vari-Raker set make it particularly effective when cutting varying cross-sections or mixed-material workpieces in fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes tooth strippage on varying cross-sections
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and cracking under continuous bandsaw operation
• Welded construction provides a consistent, smooth-running joint
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaws accepting a 163-inch (13 feet 7 inches) blade with a 1-inch width and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Compatible with cutting of alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel as specified in manufacturer data.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the bandsaw fully de-energized and locked out per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tracking, guide bearing clearance, and blade tension according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the welded joint for any irregularities prior to installation. Blade tensioning and guide setup directly affect blade life and cut accuracy, so follow the machine manufacturer guidelines closely.
