Lenox 72451CLB113480 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 72451CLB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for professional metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments. The blade measures 11 feet 5 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 4 to 6 TPI. The cutting edge features a Vari-Raker tooth set with a positive rake angle and an M42 high-speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back. This construction is designed to handle interrupted cuts, variable stock thickness, and extended production runs without premature tooth wear. Licensed metalworking technicians and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and operators.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cuts through a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is intended for horizontal and vertical band saws that accept a blade measuring 11 feet 5 inches in length. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration during cutting, which is especially useful when working through varying cross-sections of stock or when switching between material types on the same blade. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic series.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life across varied stock sizes
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cut efficiency in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches provides clean, precise cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction for consistent blade tension and reliable tracking on band saw wheels
• Rated for alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed for band saws that accept a blade length of 11 feet 5 inches, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick with a standard welded joint. Verify machine specifications against these dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician following the band saw manufacturer's blade-changing procedure. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before replacing the blade. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming operation, and verify wheel guard clearance for the 1-inch blade width. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.
