Lenox 79230CLB154700 Welded Bandsaw Blade Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79230CLB154700 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and machine shops. The blade measures 15 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 6 to 10 TPI. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material paired with a spring steel back delivers the combination of edge retention and flex resistance that metal-cutting tradespeople depend on. A Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip loading across a range of cross-sections, making this blade effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles.

This blade is suited for contour and straight-line cuts on alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is a welded loop ready for direct installation on compatible bandsaw machines. Typical users include industrial maintenance technicians, metal fabricators, and tool-and-die shops running production or job-shop cutting cycles where blade life and cut quality on hard alloys are priorities.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes blade deflection and tooth strippage on varying cross-sections
• Spring steel back provides flex resistance and fatigue life through continuous cutting cycles
• Welded loop construction — no field welding required, ready to install
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and structural steel

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 1-inch wide blade loop measuring 15 feet 5 inches in length. Verify blade length, width, and thickness specifications against the machine manufacturer's requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out all power to the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade loop. Do not force the blade onto wheels with incompatible blade guides or wheel diameters, as this can cause premature fatigue cracks at the weld.
