Lenox 18726CLB123910 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 18726CLB123910 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for metal-cutting applications on vertical and horizontal band saws. It measures 154 inches in total length and 3/4 inch wide, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 8 to 12 teeth per inch, reducing vibration and harmonics during cuts. Teeth are ground from M42 high-speed steel and set in a Vari-Raker pattern, providing consistent chip clearance and extended blade life across a range of workpiece materials. Licensed HVAC, mechanical, and fabrication technicians familiar with band saw work will recognize this as a workhorse blade built for production cutting.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals in both shop and field fabrication environments. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern makes it well matched to interrupted cuts, thin-wall sections, and mixed-thickness workpieces. It is packaged individually and is a single-piece replacement blade for band saws accepting a 154-inch loop.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and edge retention
• Variable pitch tooth form at 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and chatter during cuts
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces blade loading
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with a 0.058-inch kerf width for precise, consistent cuts
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style suited to a wide range of metal profiles
• Welded construction provides a seamless loop ready to install without additional joining

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for band saws accepting a 154-inch blade loop that is 3/4 inch wide. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the band saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening the blade guards or handling the blade. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing are appropriate for a 3/4-inch-wide blade before tensioning. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the spring steel back stores significant tension.
