Measuring 174 inches in total length and 1-1\/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, this blade features a variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch pattern designed to reduce harmonic vibration and improve chip clearance across a range of material thicknesses. The cutting edge combines M42 high speed steel teeth with a spring steel back and a Vari-Raker tooth set, balancing aggressive cutting speed with blade longevity. Licensed metalworking and fabrication professionals are the primary installers for this type of blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for use on vertical or horizontal band saws accepting a 174-inch blade length in commercial and industrial shop settings. Its variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth geometry make it effective across multiple material types including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic series designation places it within LENOX's standard production bandsaw line. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade. It is sold individually as a single welded loop ready for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable 8 to 12 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and improves cut finish across varying material cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 high speed steel teeth deliver extended edge life when cutting alloy, stainless, and tool steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent tooth loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel back provides fatigue resistance through continuous flex cycles on the saw wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.068-inch kerf width balances material removal rate with blade stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-welded loop construction allows direct drop-in installation with no field welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for band saws requiring a 174-inch blade length, 1-1\/4-inch blade width, and 0.042-inch blade thickness.

Disengage and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension per the saw manufacturer's specification and confirm that blade guides and thrust bearings are properly set before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped bandsaw blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 to 12 variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKerf Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.068 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vari-Raker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable Pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metal, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Structural Steel, Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: LENOX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 79640CLB144420\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LENOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541050655026,"sku":"79640CLB144420","price":147.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/599e20776736986b01b7ffd4a5083314_b29cc61e-da01-4027-92a6-f713270a8e0d.jpg?v=1785867855","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lenox-79640clb144420-bandsaw-blade-174-in-8-12-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
