Lenox 34199CLB134040 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 6-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 34199CLB134040 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade designed for contour and straight cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 13 feet 3 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 6 to 8 teeth per inch. The blade features an M42 high-speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back, delivering durability under continuous cutting loads. A Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to reduce vibration and improve chip clearance. This blade is installed by metalworking professionals and maintenance technicians who require reliable performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance shop environments where a variety of metal stock types and wall thicknesses are cut regularly. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration when transitioning through varying cross-sections, making it practical for structural shapes, tubing, and solid bar stock. Rated for use on alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals, this blade covers a broad range of material applications in a single blade selection.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth welded to a spring steel back for impact resistance and flex fatigue life
• Variable pitch at 6 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varying stock sizes
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces blade loading
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on tough alloys including stainless and tool steel
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches provides a consistent cut channel with minimal material loss
• LENOX Classic Series construction for general-purpose metal bandsaw applications

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 13-foot 3-inch by 1-inch blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and drive tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's blade change procedure. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Set blade tension and tracking according to the machine manufacturer's specifications for a 1-inch wide blade. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted after installation to prevent premature edge wear.
