Lenox 72104CLB123810 Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 72104CLB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 12 feet 6 inches in length and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch back thickness, this blade fits standard vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in metal fabrication, pipe fitting, and structural steel work. The variable pitch tooth form spans 10 to 14 TPI, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance suited for prolonged production cutting cycles. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is built for contour-free, straight cutting across a broad spectrum of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set pattern and variable pitch design help minimize blade chatter and tooth stripping when cutting varying cross-sections or interrupted cuts. It is well suited for job-shop environments, steel service centers, and trade contractors who run production volumes on standard bandsaw equipment. The Classic series designation indicates it is a catalog-standard, general-purpose blade rather than a specialty or application-specific variant.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and edge retention
• Variable pitch tooth form at 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and improves finish on varied material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set pattern distributes cutting load evenly and extends blade life
• 0.058-inch kerf width provides clean, efficient material removal with minimal waste
• Welded construction ensures a consistent, fatigue-resistant joint at the blade loop
• Rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded loop blade for bandsaws accepting a 12-foot 6-inch blade length and 3/4-inch blade width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension capacity of the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with bandsaw equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped bandsaw blades, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during handling.
