Measuring 161 inches in total length and 1-1\/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade is built around a spring steel back and M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form, rated at 2 to 3 TPI, reduces harmonic vibration during cuts and allows smooth feed rates across a wide range of stock profiles. Licensed HVAC and metal fabrication shops, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians rely on this blade type for consistent, repeatable results on structural and specialty metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, mold steel, nickel alloy, titanium, tool steel, and bearing steel. The Contestor GT series targets general-purpose to high-alloy metal sawing on horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 161-inch blade length and 1-1\/4-inch blade width. It is a practical choice for shops that process mixed metal stock where a single blade must handle varying material hardness and cross-sections without frequent changeovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth deliver extended wear life on hard and abrasive metals including stainless steel and nickel alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and chatter during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting load evenly across the kerf for cleaner cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle improves chip clearance and feed efficiency on tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over extended blade life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0700-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for band saws accepting a 161-inch blade loop length and a 1-1\/4-inch blade width.

Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel and guide spacing matches the blade width and thickness before tensioning. Follow the saw manufacturer's recommended tension and break-in procedure for bi-metal blades to seat the tooth set and extend blade life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 inches (13 feet 5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 to 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vari-Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKerf Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0700 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Contestor GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: LENOX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41018GTB134090\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LENOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540091502898,"sku":"41018GTB134090","price":156.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c53c5b747bfdfdbbb1757a4084098b15_df9e888b-67de-414a-9e46-e3287a6da236.jpg?v=1785846095","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lenox-41018gtb134090-bandsaw-blade-161-in-2-3-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
