Lenox 29246CLB92745 Bandsaw Blade 9 Ft 3/4 in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 29246CLB92745 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of metals in stationary bandsaw applications. The blade runs 9 feet long and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035 inch thickness and a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel set in a Vari-Raker pattern, which helps control chip load and reduce vibration during cuts. This blade is suited for maintenance shops, metal fabrication facilities, and trade contractors who need reliable stock-cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators are the typical installers.

This blade is built for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonics and tooth strippage when transitioning between cross-sections or cutting irregular stock. It is not rated for contour cutting. The Classic series designation indicates a general-purpose design intended for standard horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws found in fabrication and mechanical trade environments. The Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting forces evenly across the blade width, extending service life on demanding materials like stainless and tool steel.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals including stainless and tool steel
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and tooth strippage across varying stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting forces and improves chip clearance
• Spring steel back provides flex resistance and fatigue life during continuous operation
• 0.0580 inch kerf width for predictable material removal and dimensional accuracy
• Welded construction delivers a consistent, balanced blade with no mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for stationary metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 9-foot blade length and 3/4 inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the bandsaw before removing or installing any blade. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blade stock. Verify blade width, length, and tooth pitch compatibility with the saw model before installation to avoid damage to guides, thrust bearings, or wheels.
