Lenox 79638CLB113355 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79638CLB113355 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals. The blade runs 11 feet long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern rated at 10 to 14 TPI. The cutting edge features a vari-raker tooth set with no rake angle, producing consistent chip flow and reducing blade deflection during contour and structural cuts. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides heat resistance and edge retention when cutting hard or abrasive metals. Fabrication shops, maintenance machinists, and metalworking trades rely on this blade for production and repair sawing tasks.

This blade is designed for metal cutting bandsaw applications across fabrication, maintenance, and industrial service environments. It handles alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch configuration reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, making it well-suited for varying wall thicknesses and irregular cross-sections. It is not designed for contour cutting applications. Typical use cases include structural steel prep, pipe and bar stock cutting, and stainless fabrication work in commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch tooth form with vari-raker set reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through the cut
• 10 to 14 TPI range suits a broad cross-section of metal stock thicknesses
• 0.058 inch kerf width for consistent material removal
• Welded construction for continuous loop operation on standard bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket bandsaw blade for metal cutting bandsaws accepting an 11-foot, 1-inch-wide blade format.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician with the bandsaw powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and guide bearing alignment before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or unpackaged bandsaw blades. Confirm wheel diameter and blade clearance specifications on the host machine before mounting.
