Lenox 47874CLB144395 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 47874CLB144395 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 14 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 5 to 8 TPI. The blade body is constructed from spring steel, while the cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel with a Vari-Raker tooth set. This combination delivers resistance to tooth strippage under variable load and extends blade life when cutting a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Installation is performed by metalworking technicians and industrial maintenance trades.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop cutting environments where a single blade must handle multiple material types. Applicable materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and general non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is particularly useful when transitioning between varying cross-sections or bundled stock. It is sold individually and is intended for use on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 14-foot 5-inch blade length.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for toughness and flex life
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across mixed material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting load and lowers the risk of tooth strippage on interrupted cuts
• 0.058 inch kerf width for predictable material removal and dimensional accuracy
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style for consistent chip formation
• LENOX Classic series, welded to exact length for direct blade-wheel mounting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or OEM-style bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 14-foot 5-inch blade length with a 1-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully de-energized and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures before handling. Confirm wheel-to-wheel center distance and blade guides are set to the correct clearance for a 1-inch wide blade before tensioning. Do not exceed the blade speed rating of the host machine for the material being cut. Inspect blade welds and tooth condition before each use and replace the blade if cracks, missing teeth, or weld fatigue are observed.
