Lenox 4048NEC12127 Band Saw Blade Coil 14 Tpi 1/2 in

Product Description

The LENOX 4048NEC12127 is a band saw blade coil stock designed for professionals who cut and weld their own custom-length blades on site or in the shop. The coil measures 1/2 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick, running 100 feet per coil — enough material to yield multiple blades from a single stock. Tooth geometry is straight form with a raker set and a constant 14 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch, making it well suited for consistent, general-purpose cutting applications. The carbon steel construction and hard back design provide rigidity and resistance to blade flex during cuts.

This coil stock is used in metal fabrication shops, pipe and HVAC fabrication facilities, and trade service settings where contour cutting or custom blade lengths are regularly required. A 14 TPI constant pitch is effective for cutting thin-wall tubing, sheet stock, and light structural material. The hard back and raker set configuration handles both straight and contoured cuts without deviation. Installers and fabricators who maintain their own band saw blade inventory will find the 100-foot coil format efficient for high-volume or variable-length blade production.

Key Features

• 14 TPI constant pitch for consistent chip load across a range of material thicknesses
• Raker tooth set reduces cutting resistance and clears chips efficiently
• Hard back construction minimizes blade flex and maintains straight tracking
• Straight tooth form supports general-purpose and contour cutting applications
• Carbon steel blade material balances durability with ease of welding to length
• 100-foot coil format allows multiple custom blade yields from a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a coil stock format for use with band saw blade welders to produce custom-length blades compatible with horizontal and vertical band saws accepting 1/2 inch wide blades.

Installation Notes

Cutting and welding band saw coil stock to length requires a blade welder, grinder, and appropriate personal protective equipment including cut-resistant gloves. Ensure the band saw is fully powered down and the blade tension is released before removing an old blade or installing a new one. Blade width and thickness must be confirmed against the saw manufacturer's specifications before cutting to length. Proper blade tension and tracking adjustment should be performed after installation per the saw manufacturer's guidelines.
