Lenox 78799D2B72425 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 78799D2B72425 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for consistent, precise contour cutting across a wide range of materials. Measuring 7 feet 11-1/2 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits standard bandsaw setups used in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general shop work. The blade runs a 14 TPI constant pitch with a straight tooth form and single-level set, delivering controlled chip load and a 0.058-inch kerf on each pass. The M42 high speed steel tooth material and spring steel back make this blade a durable choice for high-volume cutting applications. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, pipefitters, and general tradespeople commonly keep this blade on hand as a direct replacement or stock unit.

This blade is suited for both residential shop environments and light commercial fabrication settings. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The contour-cutting capability makes it a practical option for curved or irregular cuts where a straight blade would bind. Standard 14 TPI pitch keeps it versatile across varying stock thicknesses without requiring a blade change between materials.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended tooth life
• 14 TPI constant pitch with straight tooth form and single-level set for consistent chip clearance
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour cutting capability supports curved and irregular cut profiles
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood
• Welded blade construction eliminates twist and maintains tracking on standard bandsaw wheels

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 7 feet 11-1/2 inch blade length and 1/2 inch blade width. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel-to-wheel measurement before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed with the machine fully powered down and unplugged. Use appropriate gloves when handling the blade coil, as tooth edges present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and threading. Tension and track the blade per the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before powering the unit on. Inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear whenever a blade is changed.
