Lenox 79639CLB123810 Bandsaw Blade 12.5 Ft 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79639CLB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. It measures 12 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The blade body is constructed from spring steel, while the cutting teeth are formed from M42 grade high speed steel, a cobalt-enhanced alloy known for heat resistance and edge retention under sustained cutting loads. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic series and is designed for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines by machinists, fabricators, and metal trades professionals.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form with a Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and harmonic noise, making it effective across varying cross-sections and workpiece geometries. It is a practical choice for job shops and production facilities that cut mixed material types on the same machine without frequent blade changes.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set supports consistent chip clearance across material types
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Welded construction for consistent tension and smooth tracking on bandsaw wheels
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, structural steel, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws that accept a 12-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and machine tension specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metal trades professional. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during coiling and uncoiling. Confirm blade tracking, guide alignment, and tension per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
