Lenox 72105CLB134115 Bandsaw Blade 13ft 6in 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 72105CLB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of metals in industrial and commercial sawing applications. The blade measures 13 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth configuration spanning 10 to 14 teeth per inch (TPI). The cutting edge combines a Vari-Raker tooth set with a milled, variable tooth form. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance during high-cycle cutting operations. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and end users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and noise during cuts, making it appropriate for both thin-walled sections and solid stock. It is intended for use on horizontal or vertical metal-cutting bandsaws sized to accept a 13 feet 6 inch blade length. Typical applications include job shop fabrication, maintenance facilities, and production cutting environments where a single blade must handle varied material types.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (10 to 14 TPI) reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across varied stock sizes
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes chip load and extends blade life on interrupted cuts
• Milled tooth form delivers consistent tooth geometry across the full blade length
• 0.0580 inch kerf width provides clean, accurate cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction for continuous loop operation on metal-cutting bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 13 feet 6 inch continuous loop blade, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw powered off, de-energized, and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures. Follow the saw manufacturer's specifications for blade tension and guide bearing clearance. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or loose bandsaw blades. Inspect blade welds and tooth condition before each use and remove the blade from service at the first sign of cracking or tooth stripping.
