Lenox 47749CLB134240 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 47749CLB134240 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting on stationary band saws in metal fabrication, maintenance, and industrial service environments. At 13 feet 11 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it fits standard industrial band saw machines requiring that blade length. The variable pitch tooth pattern runs 5 to 8 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and helps the blade cut efficiently through a range of material thicknesses without chattering. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade flexibility to resist fatigue while the cutting edge stays hard. Licensed HVAC, pipefitting, plumbing, and general metal fabrication technicians commonly use this blade for structural, alloy, and stainless steel cutting tasks.

This blade is suited for industrial and commercial metal cutting applications where variable workpiece cross-sections are common. It is appropriate for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch design handle both solid bar stock and structural profiles without requiring a blade change. It is not configured for contour cutting. Typical users include metal fabricators, industrial maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and welding shops running production or repair work.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexing stress during continuous use
• Welded construction maintains uniform tension and eliminates blade-join weak points
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket bandsaw blade for stationary industrial band saw machines accepting a 13 feet 11 inch blade length with a 1 inch width and 0.035 inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and fully de-energize the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify wheel guards and blade guides are properly adjusted to the 1 inch blade width before resuming operation. Follow the saw manufacturer's tensioning specifications and ANSI B11.10 safety guidelines for metal-cutting band saws.
