Lenox 55344MAB72260 Bandsaw Blade 89in 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 55344MAB72260 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for cutting a wide range of metals and other materials in professional shop and industrial environments. The blade measures 89 inches long and 1/2 inch wide with a 0.020-inch thickness and a variable 10 to 14 TPI tooth pitch. The M42 high speed steel tooth material and vari-raker tooth set are engineered to handle tough alloys, hardened steels, and abrasive materials while maintaining cut quality and blade life. This blade is a standard choice for tool room technicians, fabricators, and maintenance trades running vertical or horizontal bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for contour cutting and straight cutting across a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, making it effective on thin-wall sections, irregular profiles, and mixed-thickness workpieces. It fits bandsaws configured for 89-inch blade length in light industrial and production shop settings.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and edge retention
• Variable 10 to 14 TPI vari-raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut finish across variable stock thicknesses
• Contour cutting capable for irregular profiles and curved cuts
• 0.037-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded blade construction for consistent tension and tracking on the saw wheel
• Broad material application including stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaws accepting an 89-inch blade length with a 1/2-inch blade width. Verify wheel and guide compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified shop personnel familiar with tensioning and tracking procedures for the specific saw model in use. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves — bi-metal bandsaw blades have sharp edges along the full length. After installation, set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts.
