Lenox 18500CLB82500 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 18500CLB82500 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and field environments. The blade measures 8 feet 2.5 inches (98.5 inches) in length and 0.75 inches in width, with a back thickness of 0.035 inches. It runs a variable pitch tooth pattern of 6 to 10 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and improve chip clearance during cuts. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips deliver hardness and heat resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals operating vertical or horizontal bandsaws.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on a variety of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design makes it a practical general-purpose blade for shops that cut mixed material profiles and wall thicknesses. It is packaged and sold individually, making it a direct single-blade replacement or stocking unit for production and service environments.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade length, and blade width specifications match the saw before mounting. Tension and track the blade according to the saw manufacturer guidelines before powering on. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth prior to each use and never operate a damaged blade.
