Lenox 1855570 Reciprocating Saw Blade 8 in Bi-metal 14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1855570 is a bi-metal reciprocating saw blade designed for cutting metal. It measures 8 inches in length with a straight profile and a toothed cutting edge. At 14 teeth per inch (TPI), this blade delivers controlled, clean cuts through metal stock, pipe, conduit, and structural material. The blade body is bi-metal construction with a high speed steel tooth edge, giving it the flexibility to resist breakage while maintaining edge hardness through demanding cuts. It weighs 2.7 pounds per package. Plumbers, electricians, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on this blade type for demolition and rough-in work.

This blade is suited for metal cutting applications in both residential and commercial trade work. Typical uses include cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metal pipe, conduit runs, unistrut, sheet metal framing, and similar metal materials encountered during installation or demolition. The 14 TPI tooth count makes it appropriate for medium-wall tubing and solid stock rather than thin-gauge sheet. It fits any standard reciprocating saw with a universal shank.

Key Features

• Bi-metal blade body with high speed steel teeth for durability and edge retention
• 8-inch blade length for reach in confined or open cut situations
• 14 TPI for controlled metal cutting on medium-wall pipe and solid stock
• Straight profile for consistent, predictable cutting path
• Blade thickness of 0.035 inches (0.90 mm) for rigidity during aggressive cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for use in standard reciprocating saws with a universal shank, configured for metal cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Reciprocating saw blade changes should be performed with the tool unpowered and the battery removed or the power cord unplugged. Secure the workpiece before cutting to prevent movement that can cause blade deflection or breakage. Blade installation follows the tool manufacturer's shank-lock procedure. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are standard PPE for reciprocating saw operation in trade settings.
