Lenox 29428CLB123810 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 29428CLB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications across a wide range of materials. At 12 feet 6 inches long and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it is sized for standard vertical and horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance during extended cuts, while the variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and chatter, producing cleaner cuts with less noise. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and metal trades professionals who require consistent performance on structural and specialty metals.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form combined with a Vari-Raker tooth set makes it an effective choice for both solid bar stock and structural profiles where chip clearance and cut quality are priorities. It is used in production shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where a reliable, general-purpose metal-cutting bandsaw blade is required in a 12-foot-6-inch welded loop configuration.

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 improves cut finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with a broad material range including stainless steel, aluminum, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 12-foot-6-inch blade length with a 3/4-inch width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension capacity against your saw specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing or mounting any blade. Confirm proper blade tension using the saw manufacturer's tensioning guide, and check blade tracking before resuming cuts. Gloves are recommended when handling bandsaw blades, as tooth edges and weld joints present laceration hazards.
