Lenox 79651CLB123660 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 79651CLB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. The blade runs 12 feet long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The cutting teeth are high speed steel M42 grade, bonded to a spring steel back for fatigue resistance during continuous operation. The Vari-Raker tooth set combined with a variable pitch reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, producing cleaner cuts and extending blade life across a range of material profiles. This blade is a standard replacement or backup stock item for stationary bandsaw equipment in fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and metal service centers.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch geometry makes it particularly effective when cutting variable cross-sections or bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would load unevenly. Licensed trades and fabricators running stationary horizontal or vertical bandsaws in production or jobsite settings are the primary installers and users.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for hardened and abrasive material cutting
• Variable pitch 10-14 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes blade loading on irregular cross-sections
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue fracture
• 0.058 inch kerf width for efficient material removal with minimal waste
• Welded construction for consistent tension and smooth tracking on bandsaw wheels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaws requiring a 12-foot loop, 1-inch-wide blade with a standard 0.035-inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and blade tension settings are appropriate for a 1-inch-wide blade before tensioning. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and installation.
