Lenox 34117CLB103315 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 6-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 34117CLB103315 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form in the 6 to 8 TPI range, reducing vibration and improving cut quality on varying cross-sections. The cutting edge combines high-speed steel M42 teeth with a vari-raker tooth set and positive rake angle, mounted on a spring steel back for durability. It is suited for fabrication shops, maintenance trades, and industrial cutting environments.

This blade is designed for metal-cutting bandsaws used in fabrication, structural steel work, and maintenance repair operations. It handles a wide material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern makes it particularly effective when cutting stock of varying wall thickness or mixed cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. It is not configured for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch tooth form at 6 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on irregular stock
• Vari-raker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip clearance
• 0.058-inch kerf width for predictable material removal and accurate cuts
• Welded construction in a 10 foot 10.5 inch loop ready for direct installation on compatible saws
• Suitable for alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, tool steel, aluminum, and structural steel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 10 foot 10.5 inch blade length with 1 inch width and 0.035 inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully powered down and disconnected from its power source before blade changes. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before mounting. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking procedures; improper tension on a bi-metal blade can lead to premature tooth fatigue or blade breakage. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.
