Lenox 72198CLB134115 Bandsaw Blade 13ft 6in 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 72198CLB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 13 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch of 8 to 12 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material paired with a spring steel back delivers consistent cut quality and extended blade life across a range of metal types. It is sold as a single blade and is suited for stationary horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in fabrication, maintenance, and production environments.

This blade is designed for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during the cut, which is especially useful when working with varying material cross-sections or interrupted cuts. It is a practical choice for machine shops, metal fabrication shops, pipefitters, and millwrights who require a reliable replacement or spare blade for general metal-cutting work.

Key Features

• Variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch reduces vibration and extends blade life on mixed cross-section cuts
• M42 high-speed steel teeth for hardness and heat resistance on tough alloys
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and cut finish
• 0.058-inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• Compatible with a broad material range including stainless steel and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for stationary metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 13-foot 6-inch blade in a 1-inch wide by 0.035-inch thick profile.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before opening blade guards or removing the existing blade. Use appropriate gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as edges are sharp. Verify blade tension and blade guide alignment after installation before returning the machine to service.
