Lenox 72088CLB82720 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 72088CLB82720 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals. The blade measures 8 feet 11 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 10 to 14 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut finish on varying material cross-sections. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, delivering both flexibility and edge retention under continuous use. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and metal fabricators rely on this blade for structural and alloy steel cutting tasks.

The 72088CLB82720 is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines cutting carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it especially effective on solids and structurals where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. The Classic series designation indicates a standard catalog production blade, appropriate for general production environments and maintenance shops that require consistent, repeatable cuts through mixed metal stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting load evenly and extends blade life on tough alloys
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style delivers clean entry and exit on metal stock
• Compatible with a broad material range including stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a blade measuring 8 feet 11 inches in length and 1 inch in width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and the blade tension released before removal or fitting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the tooth edge is sharp along its entire length. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the machine match the blade width and thickness before tensioning. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer torque and tension specifications when setting blade tracking.
