Lenox 47793CLB113430 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 47793CLB113430 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 11 feet 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 5 to 8 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and produces smoother cuts across a range of material cross-sections. The tooth tips are M42 high speed steel — a cobalt-bearing grade chosen for heat and wear resistance — bonded to a spring steel back. This blade is sold as a single welded unit, ready to mount without additional field joining. HVAC and industrial fabrication shops, plumbers, and pipefitters rely on blades of this type for cutting structural profiles, pipe, and solid bar stock.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance cutting in both shop and field environments. Its variable Vari-Raker tooth set handles a wide range of material types including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design makes it practical for interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or stall. It is not designed for contour cutting applications. Typical end users include metal fabricators, mechanical contractors, pipe fitters, and maintenance technicians who run horizontal or vertical metal-cutting bandsaws.

Key Features

• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across changing cross-sections
• M42 high speed steel tooth tips provide high heat and wear resistance for tough alloys and stainless steel
• Vari-Raker tooth set geometry minimizes blade deflection and extends blade life
• Spring steel back offers fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles
• Welded construction — arrives as a finished loop, no field welding required
• 0.058 inch kerf width limits material waste on each cut

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting horizontal or vertical bandsaws that accept a blade measuring 11 feet 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width with a 0.035 inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Always power down and lockout/tagout the saw before removing or mounting a blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade loop, as tooth edges are sharp and the spring steel back can snap outward when released. Confirm wheel diameter and blade guide clearances match the blade width before mounting.
