Lenox 79673CLB113480 Bandsaw Blade 11ft 5in 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79673CLB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Measuring 11 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form spanning 8 to 12 TPI for efficient chip evacuation and reduced vibration across a range of material thicknesses. The high-speed steel M42 tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, delivering heat resistance and edge retention under continuous use. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metal fabrication professionals are the primary installers and operators of this blade type.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in production and maintenance shops. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective across a broad material range without requiring a blade change between jobs. It is particularly well matched for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals at moderate to high feed rates.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 8-12 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality on varying cross-sections
• M42 high-speed steel teeth provide superior heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 bi-metal blades
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and extends blade life
• Spring steel back resists fatigue under continuous bandsaw tension
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 1-inch-wide blade with a 11-foot-5-inch loop length. Verify your saw wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing this one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade; coiled bandsaw blades store significant spring energy. Confirm proper blade tension, tracking alignment, and guide bearing clearance before resuming operation.
