Lenox 79670CLB92935 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79670CLB92935 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting applications. It measures 9 feet 7.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 8 to 12 TPI. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade that holds an edge under heat and friction. The spring steel back provides fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. This blade is suited for fabrication shops, metal service centers, and maintenance trades where accurate contour and straight cuts through a range of metals are required.

This blade is designed for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 9 feet 7.5-inch loop. Its variable pitch configuration reduces vibration and harmonic resonance, making it effective across a range of workpiece thicknesses and cross-sections. The Vari-Raker tooth set promotes chip clearance and minimizes binding in interrupted cuts. Material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals, making it a versatile blade for mixed-material cutting environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard metals
• Variable pitch tooth form (8 to 12 TPI) reduces vibration and suits varied stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces blade loading
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexion cracking during prolonged use
• Welded loop construction for consistent tracking and minimal runout
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches supports dimensional accuracy in cut workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production blade for bandsaw machines that accept a 9 feet 7.5-inch welded loop blade measuring 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and blade tension settings match the blade width and thickness specifications before powering on. Never operate a bandsaw with missing or improperly adjusted blade guides.
