Lenox 55209MAB51640 Welded Bandsaw Blade 18 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 55209MAB51640 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 64.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.02 inches and a kerf width of 0.037 inches. The blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth set in a wavy pattern at 18 teeth per inch (TPI) and a straight tooth form. This configuration delivers fine, consistent cuts across a broad range of metals and is a standard choice for shop and field technicians running portable or stationary bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. It fits applications in metal fabrication shops, mechanical contracting, and industrial maintenance where repeated cuts through mixed or difficult materials are required. The constant pitch design and toothed, milled cutting edge support clean, repeatable cuts during high-volume service work.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as teeth and blade edges present a laceration hazard. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation.
