Lenox 34102CLB123660 Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 6-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 34102CLB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade environments. The blade spans 12 feet in length and measures 1 inch wide by 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern running 6 to 8 teeth per inch (TPI). Cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle and Vari-Raker tooth set, bonded to a spring steel back for fatigue resistance through continuous flex. A kerf width of 0.058 inches delivers clean, consistent cuts on a wide range of metals.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cuts on structural shapes, bar stock, tubing, and sheet goods across a broad material range. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonic noise during the cut, making it a practical choice for production band saws handling mixed-material workloads. It is sold and packaged as a single blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long service life
• Variable pitch 6 to 8 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• 12-foot welded loop ready for direct installation on compatible band saws
• Classic Series construction suitable for general-purpose metal cutting production environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for band saws accepting a 12-foot by 1-inch blade in bi-metal configurations. Compatible cutting materials include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tracking, wheel alignment, and guide bearing clearance before tensioning. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Do not exceed the band saw manufacturer's rated blade speed for the material being cut.
