Lenox 5044FLC12127 Band Saw Blade Coil 6 Tpi 1/2 in

Product Description

The LENOX 5044FLC12127 is a carbon steel band saw blade coil stock designed for continuous cutting operations where custom blade lengths are required. The coil measures 100 feet in length with a blade width of 0.5 inches and a thickness of 0.025 inches. It features a hook tooth form with a raker set and a constant pitch of 6 teeth per inch (TPI), which delivers efficient chip clearance and consistent cut quality on a range of materials. The flexible back construction reduces stress during blade operation and allows for use on standard band saw wheel configurations. This coil stock is cut to length on-site, making it a practical choice for shops and service operations that run multiple blade lengths.

This coil stock is suited for contour cutting applications in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The 6 TPI constant pitch and hook tooth geometry perform well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in moderate cross-sections. Shops that run high blade turnover benefit from purchasing coil stock rather than pre-cut blades, since blades can be brazed or welded to the required loop length on-site using standard blade-welding equipment. The flexible back design accommodates smaller wheel diameters common in portable and bench-top band saws.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction suitable for general-purpose band saw cutting
• 6 TPI constant pitch for consistent, efficient material removal
• Hook tooth form promotes aggressive chip clearing and reduced heat buildup
• Raker tooth set balances cut accuracy and blade life
• Flexible back reduces fatigue and stress on the blade during operation
• 100-foot coil allows on-site sizing and welding to custom blade lengths
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular cut profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coil stock for band saws that accept 0.5-inch wide blades with a 0.025-inch thickness; specific machine compatibility depends on wheel diameter, blade guides, and welder capacity available at the point of use.

Installation Notes

Blade cutting and welding from coil stock should be performed by a qualified operator using a blade welder rated for carbon steel stock at the specified width and thickness. Ensure the band saw is fully powered down and the blade tension released before removing or installing any blade. Verify wheel diameter and guide clearances against the 0.5-inch blade width before use. Follow the band saw manufacturer specifications and applicable shop safety standards when handling and tensioning the finished blade loop.
