Lenox 44872CLB103265 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 44872CLB103265 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 10 feet 8.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 6 to 10 TPI. The blade uses M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back, providing the toughness needed for demanding production cutting. The variable pitch design reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, helping extend blade life and improve surface finish across a range of material thicknesses. Licensed metalworking shops and fabrication technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable-pitch Vari-Raker tooth set makes it effective on both solid bar stock and structural shapes where section thickness changes throughout the cut. It is sized for production-class metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1-inch-wide blade in the 10-foot 8.5-inch loop length. This is not a contour-cutting blade and is intended for straight cuts only.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and noise during cuts on varying material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set optimizes chip clearance and tooth engagement across material types
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals
• LENOX Classic series construction for consistent weld quality and dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard-stock blade for production metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1-inch-wide blade in the 10-foot 8.5-inch loop length. Verify machine blade-width capacity and wheel diameter specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified metalworking technicians following the bandsaw manufacturer guidelines. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing the blade. Use appropriate blade tension for a 1-inch bi-metal blade as specified by the saw manufacturer. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to avoid laceration from exposed teeth.
