Lenox 47307CLB123685 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 47307CLB123685 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 145 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch of 8 to 12 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge with a spring steel back, delivering heat resistance and fatigue life that straight high-carbon blades cannot match. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and general fabrication shops rely on this blade type for cutting structural and alloy materials efficiently and accurately.

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 design reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, making it a reliable choice for both thin-wall and solid-section workpieces. It is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 145-inch blade with a 1-inch width. Contour cutting is not supported with this blade configuration.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended cutting life
• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with a 0.058-inch kerf width for consistent, predictable cuts
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for immediate installation
• LENOX Classic Series build quality for high-cycle production and intermittent shop use

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 145-inch blade length and 1-inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and unplugged or locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming cuts. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade. Break in new blades with reduced feed pressure for the first several cuts to seat the tooth geometry properly.
