Lenox 79658CLB103315 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79658CLB103315 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 10 to 14 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut quality across varying workpiece thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance needed when cutting tough alloys and stainless steel. A spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous bandsawing operations. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws used in commercial fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The variable vari-raker tooth set pattern handles a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 10-14 TPI variable pitch is particularly effective on thin-walled tubing, structural sections, and solid bar stock where a fixed-pitch blade would produce chatter or premature tooth wear.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard alloys and stainless steel
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI vari-raker tooth form minimizes vibration and chatter
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous use
• 0.058 inch kerf width reduces material loss during cuts
• Welded construction for consistent tension and smooth tracking on bandsaw wheels
• Compatible with alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a blade length of 10 feet 10.5 inches and a blade width of 0.75 inches. Suitable for machines configured for bi-metal variable pitch blades in this size class.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the bandsaw manufacturer's lockout and tagout procedures before opening the wheel covers. Verify blade tension and tracking according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming cuts. Ensure wheel guides and thrust bearings are properly set for 0.75 inch blade width. Protective gloves should be worn when handling the coiled blade during installation.
