Lenox 55330MAB51640 Bandsaw Blade 64.5 in 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 55330MAB51640 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for contour cutting and general-purpose metal cutting applications. It measures 64.5 inches in total length and 0.5 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.02 inches and a kerf width of 0.037 inches. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, mounted on a spring steel back for flex and fatigue resistance. The variable pitch design, ranging from 10 to 14 TPI, reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut. Licensed technicians, maintenance professionals, and fabrication shop personnel are the primary installers of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable tooth form make it effective on both thin-walled and solid stock. It is well matched to vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 0.5-inch-wide blade in the 64.5-inch length. Contour cutting capability allows for curved and irregular cuts in addition to straight crosscuts.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard materials
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varied stock
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent feed
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to blade fatigue
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• Toothed milled variable cutting edge delivers smooth finish across a wide range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed to fit bandsaw machines accepting a 0.5-inch-wide welded blade at 64.5 inches in length. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully de-energized and the power source locked out before handling. Verify blade guides, thrust bearings, and blade tension are set to the machine manufacturer's specifications before operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or handling the blade. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA machine guarding requirements for stationary bandsaw equipment.
