Lenox 29306CLB113580 Bandsaw Blade 11ft 9in 5-8 Tpi M42

Product Description

The LENOX 29306CLB113580 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade runs 11 feet 9 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 5 to 8 TPI. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides extended edge life when cutting hard or abrasive materials. The spring steel back absorbs vibration and resists fatigue during continuous cutting cycles. Installation and operation are handled by experienced machinists and metalworking tradespeople.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal band saw machines used in production shops, maintenance facilities, and metal fabrication operations. The variable-pitch tooth geometry reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish across a broad range of cross-sections and material types. The Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent chip loading. It is not configured for contour cutting and is intended for straight structural cuts.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended wear life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter during the cut
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and cracking under continuous band tension
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction for immediate installation without blade preparation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare bi-metal bandsaw blade for band saws accepting an 11-foot 9-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the band saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade tension, guide bearings, and wheel alignment are set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before running. Inspect the weld joint for integrity before tensioning. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
