Lenox 72694CLB113605 Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 72694CLB113605 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial environments. Measuring 11 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, set in a Vari-Raker pattern on a spring steel back. That combination delivers efficient chip clearance and extended blade life when cutting a wide range of metals. Licensed metalworking shops, maintenance technicians, and fabrication professionals are the typical end users.

This blade is designed for contour-free, straight cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines commonly found in metal shops and industrial facilities. It is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, making it a solid choice for workpieces with varying cross-sections or interrupted cuts. The welded construction provides a consistent, reliable joint for continuous-loop bandsaw operation.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch tooth form (10 to 14 TPI) reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent feed rates
• 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes material waste per cut
• Welded loop design for direct installation on bandsaw machines without additional joining
• Compatible with a broad material application range including stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1 inch wide blade in an 11 foot 10 inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance professional. Always power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one, following LOTO procedures per OSHA 1910.147. Verify blade tension and wheel tracking per the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during installation.
