Lenox 18826CLB103325 Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 18826CLB103325 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for metal-cutting applications on stationary band saw equipment. Measuring 10 feet 11 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a thickness of 0.035 inches, this blade runs on vertical and horizontal band saws used in fabrication, maintenance, and production environments. The variable pitch tooth form spans 6 to 10 teeth per inch, reducing vibration and harmonics during the cut and extending blade life across a wide range of material thicknesses. High speed steel M42 teeth are electron beam-welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with resistance to back fatigue. Licensed machinists, tool room operators, and metal fabricators typically select this blade for structural and alloy cutting tasks.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch Vari-Raker tooth set is particularly effective when cutting materials with varying cross-sections or when switching between light structural shapes and solid bar stock without changing blades. It is intended for professional shop environments where consistent, controlled cuts are required across mixed material types.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip loading
• M42 high speed steel teeth deliver extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes material waste per cut
• Bi-metal construction bonds HSS tooth material to a flexible spring steel backing via weld
• LENOX Classic series — welded loop ready for direct installation on compatible band saws

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for stationary metal-cutting band saws that accept a 1 inch wide blade in the 10 foot 11 inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following the band saw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the machine before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when coiling, uncoiling, or mounting the blade — coiled blades store tension and can unroll rapidly. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before mounting a new blade.
