Lenox 55151MAB51640 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 55151MAB51640 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous contour cutting across a wide range of materials. The blade measures 64.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a 0.02-inch thickness and a 14 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering edge retention and flex resistance through demanding cuts. It is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where consistent cut quality and blade longevity are priorities.

This blade is built for bandsaw applications cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The 14 TPI constant pitch with wavy tooth set makes it effective on solid stock and structural profiles in both light production and job-shop settings. It installs on standard vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept a 64.5-inch blade loop. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• 14 TPI constant pitch with wavy tooth set for smooth cuts in a variety of metal and non-metal materials
• 0.037-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Straight tooth form with no rake angle suited for general-purpose cutting
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• Classic series design compatible with standard bandsaw setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaws accepting a 64.5-inch welded loop blade with a 0.5-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify that the blade guides, wheel flanges, and tension setting match the blade width and thickness before running the saw. Do not exceed the bandsaw manufacturer's rated blade speed for the material being cut.
