Lenox 78097CLB92995 Bandsaw Blade 9ft10in 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 78097CLB92995 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 9 feet 10 inches in length and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, running a variable-pitch tooth pattern of 10 to 14 TPI. The high-speed steel M42 tooth material paired with a spring steel back delivers the combination of edge retention and flex resistance that metal-cutting trades rely on. The Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and minimizes blade chatter across varying stock thicknesses. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals in residential and commercial fabrication settings. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design performs well in applications where the operator is transitioning between different stock profiles or wall thicknesses on the same cut sequence. It is a solid fit for production band saw operations where a consistent, welded-loop blade with controlled kerf is required.

Key Features

• Variable-pitch 10 to 14 TPI tooth pattern reduces vibration and improves cut finish across material thicknesses
• M42 high-speed steel teeth provide extended edge retention when cutting hard alloys and stainless steel
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexion cracking during continuous cutting cycles
• Vari-Raker tooth set geometry manages chip load and minimizes blade deflection
• 0.0580-inch kerf width enables precise, material-efficient cuts
• Welded-loop construction for immediate drop-in installation on compatible band saw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for band saw machines accepting a 9 feet 10 inch loop blade with a 3/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator following the band saw manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and de-energize the machine completely before removing the old blade or threading the new one through the guides and wheel guards. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade. Do not exceed the blade speed or tension rating marked on the machine nameplate.
