Lenox 79641CLB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79641CLB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade shop environments. Measuring 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, it runs on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws common in fabrication and mechanical shops. The blade uses an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge bonded to a spring steel back, producing a variable-pitch, Vari-Raker tooth pattern engineered to reduce vibration and extend blade life across a range of material thicknesses. It is part of the LENOX Classic series and is sized and welded for direct drop-in installation.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch makes it effective on varying cross-sections without requiring a blade change, which reduces downtime in production cutting environments. Fabricators, maintenance machinists, and mechanical contractors who run production bandsaws in commercial or industrial settings are the primary users of this blade.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 8 to 12 TPI Vari-Raker tooth pattern reduces vibration and chip loading
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• 0.0680-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Toothed, milled, variable cutting edge style supports smooth finishes on multiple metals
• Pre-welded loop — ready to install without additional joining

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 15-foot, 1-1/4-inch-wide blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the host saw's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Follow the saw manufacturer's tensioning specifications and confirm proper blade tracking before resuming cuts.
