Lenox 29806CLB123685 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 29806CLB123685 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 12 feet 1 inch in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth in a Vari-Raker tooth set, delivering smooth, consistent cuts across a wide range of material types and cross-sections. The 0.058-inch kerf width balances material removal with blade stability. Metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who rely on horizontal or vertical bandsaws for production cutting will find this blade suited for sustained, high-duty-cycle use.

This blade is designed for use on bandsaw equipment sized to accept a 12-foot 1-inch blade loop. The variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch makes it suitable for cutting varying material thicknesses in a single pass without blade swap-out. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is well suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and industrial job sites where versatile metal cutting is required.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and delivers smooth cuts across varying stock thicknesses
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material waste while maintaining a stable cut path
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style supports a broad range of metal alloys including stainless and tool steel
• Classic Series welded loop construction ready for immediate installation on compatible bandsaw equipment
• Rated for contour cutting: No — optimized for straight production cuts in structural and solid stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot 1-inch blade loop with a 1-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout/tagout the bandsaw before removing the worn blade or installing the new one. Ensure blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel brushes are inspected and adjusted to the blade width prior to startup. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension specifications for 1-inch bi-metal blades and allow a short break-in period at reduced feed rate on initial cuts.
