Lenox 55296MAB123810 Bandsaw Blade 24 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 55296MAB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous contour cutting across a wide range of metals and materials. The blade runs 12 feet 6 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a 24 TPI constant pitch and a 0.020-inch blade thickness. The cutting edge is toothed and milled with a wavy tooth set and no rake angle, producing smooth, controlled cuts in materials from aluminum and carbon steel to stainless and tool steel. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance under demanding shop conditions. A spring steel back supports consistent tension and flex life on standard bandsaw equipment. Licensed shop technicians, metalworking fabricators, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for both light fabrication and production cutting environments where contour cutting accuracy is required. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood. The standard pitch pattern and straight tooth form make it a general-purpose choice across these applications. With a kerf width of 0.0370 inches, material loss per cut is kept low, which is relevant when working with higher-value stock such as stainless or tool steel.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended tooth life in hard and abrasive materials
• 24 TPI constant pitch with wavy tooth set for smooth cuts and reduced vibration
• Toothed and milled cutting edge for precision and surface finish consistency
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during contour cutting
• 0.0370-inch kerf width minimizes material waste per cut
• Contour cutting capable across metals and wood applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 12-foot 6-inch by 0.5-inch blade in 24 TPI configuration.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified shop personnel with the machine fully de-energized and the blade guard removed per the equipment manufacturer's procedure. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearances match the 0.5-inch blade width before mounting. Tension the blade according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications and check tracking before making test cuts. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are required when handling and threading the blade.
