Lenox 47429CLB123657 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 47429CLB123657 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals. Measuring 12 feet in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it runs a variable pitch tooth pattern in the 6 to 10 TPI range. The M42 high speed steel tooth material paired with a spring steel back delivers the combination of edge durability and body flexibility required for sustained production cutting. Licensed metalworking professionals, maintenance machinists, and fabrication shops rely on this style of blade for consistent, repeatable results on contoured and straight cuts alike.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set help reduce vibration and chatter, making it particularly useful on interrupted cuts and material cross-sections that vary in thickness. It is a direct-install welded blade intended for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 12-foot by 1-inch blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish across mixed cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent kerf width of 0.058 inches
• 12-foot welded loop eliminates the need for field brazing or blade welding at installation
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and structural steel
• LENOX Classic series designation indicates standard catalog availability and dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 12-foot length, 1-inch wide blade. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guides, and tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance professional. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and tensioning. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications; do not exceed the rated blade speed for the tooth pitch and material being cut.
