Lenox 41065GTB123735 Bandsaw Blade 147 in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 41065GTB123735 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 147 inches (12 feet 3 inches) in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness, this blade is built around an M42 high speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back for resilience under load. The variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and helps prevent tooth strippage when cutting irregular cross-sections. It is part of the Contestor GT series, designed for professional bandsaw use in fabrication shops and industrial cutting environments.

This blade suits horizontal and vertical bandsaws used in production and maintenance cutting of a wide range of metals. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective on solid bar stock, structural shapes, and bundles. Typical installers are machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metal fabrication professionals who require consistent, burr-minimized cuts through tough alloys including stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloy, mold steel, and tool steel, as well as common materials such as carbon steel, aluminum, and bearing steel.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance over long cutting cycles
• Ground tooth form delivers consistent kerf width of 0.070 inches
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and feed efficiency
• Welded construction sized ready to install at 147 inches total length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for industrial bandsaws accepting a 147-inch (12 feet 3 inches) loop, 1-1/4-inch wide blade with 0.042-inch thickness. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearance on the target saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool technician familiar with bandsaw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw at the disconnect before handling or mounting the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling and mounting the welded loop. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before running the blade under load.
