Lenox 36829MAB31140 Welded Bandsaw Blade 18 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 36829MAB31140 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting performance in metal fabrication and industrial shop environments. The blade measures 44.875 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a 0.02-inch thickness and an 18 TPI constant pitch configuration. The cutting edge combines a high speed steel M42 tooth with a spring steel back, delivering the flexibility needed to resist fatigue on contour cuts while maintaining edge hardness on tough workpieces. Tooth set is wavy, which reduces kerf load and vibration during the cut. Kerf width is 0.037 inches. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades using vertical or horizontal bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The 18 TPI pitch and wavy tooth set make it particularly effective for thinner-section workpieces where tooth engagement and surface finish matter. The M42 high speed steel tooth material handles elevated cutting temperatures without losing hardness, making this blade a practical choice in production settings where the saw runs extended cycles. Contour cutting is supported by the blade geometry.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• 18 TPI constant pitch with wavy tooth set reduces vibration and controls chip load
• Toothed and milled cutting edge for consistent surface finish
• Kerf width of 0.037 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with a broad material range including stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and tool steel
• Straight tooth form with no rake angle suits general-purpose metal cutting at standard feed rates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for vertical and horizontal bandsaws accepting a 0.5-inch wide blade in the 44.875-inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing or installing any blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension settings are within the saw manufacturer's specifications before operating. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as tooth edges are sharp during installation.
