Lenox 72095CLB123810 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 12.5 in

Product Description

The LENOX 72095CLB123810 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications in production and maintenance environments. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch back thickness and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The tooth edge is constructed from M42 high-speed steel (HSS) bonded to a spring steel back, combining edge hardness with fatigue resistance. The variable-pitch, Vari-Raker tooth form reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, resulting in smoother surface finishes and extended blade life. Licensed metalworking technicians and maintenance machinists are the primary installers of this blade.

This blade is designed for contour and straight cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws with a 12-foot 6-inch blade capacity. The 8 to 12 TPI variable-pitch configuration makes it well suited for cutting a range of cross-sections and wall thicknesses across multiple metal types. Rated material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. The Classic series designation from LENOX places this blade in a general-purpose tier suitable for job shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance operations.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for hardness and flex durability
• Variable-pitch, Vari-Raker tooth form reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• 8 to 12 TPI range accommodates varying material cross-sections and wall thicknesses
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for immediate installation
• Compatible with alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stocking blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot 6-inch blade loop with a 1-inch blade width. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and drive tension specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the tooth edge presents a laceration hazard. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide alignment before starting the saw. Do not exceed the maximum rated blade speed specified by the saw manufacturer for the blade width and tooth pitch selected.
