Lenox 28011D2B123785 Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 28011D2B123785 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous-loop use on stationary band saws in metal-cutting and multi-material applications. It measures 12 feet 5 inches in length and 1/2 inch wide with a 0.025-inch blade thickness. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 6 to 10 TPI with a Vari-Raker set pattern, reducing harmonic vibration and improving chip clearance across a range of material thicknesses. The cutting edge is constructed from M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back, the defining characteristic of the Classic Series bi-metal construction. This blade is installed and changed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working with production or job-shop band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it especially effective when cutting variable cross-sections or bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. Typical install environments include production fab shops, maintenance facilities, and job sites with portable or stationary metal-cutting band saws that accept a 1/2-inch wide blade loop of this loop length.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth on a spring steel back for extended edge life
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and noise during cuts
• 0.0430-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour cutting capable, supporting curved and radius cuts
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood
• Welded loop construction eliminates blade-joining steps at installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary band saws accepting a 1/2-inch wide blade with a 12-foot 5-inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade replacement is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician. Power down and de-energize the band saw and release blade tension fully before removing the old blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade loop. Verify wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and loop length against the saw manufacturer specifications before installing to ensure proper tensioning and tracking.
