Lenox 79653CLB103050 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 79653CLB103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting of metals in professional shop and industrial environments. Measuring 10 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 8 to 12 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration during cuts and extends blade life. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance when cutting hard and abrasive alloys. The spring steel back resists fatigue under repeated flex cycles. Licensed trade professionals and machinists install this blade on horizontal and vertical bandsaw equipment as part of routine tooling maintenance or new setups.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern make it appropriate for both solid bar stock and structural profiles where consistent chip clearance and cut finish are required. Typical applications include metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where a dependable general-purpose bi-metal bandsaw blade is needed across varying workpiece cross-sections.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and noise during cutting
• M42 high speed steel teeth resist heat buildup on hard alloys including stainless and tool steel
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over extended use
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent kerf quality
• 0.058 inch kerf width delivers clean, controlled cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction ensures a consistent joint with no loose ends for continuous feed operation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 10-foot, 1-inch-wide blade. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Verify correct blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming operation to prevent premature blade failure or workpiece damage.
