Lenox 79674CLB103175 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79674CLB103175 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting in metal fabrication and general industrial applications. The blade measures 125 inches long and 3/4 inch wide, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable-pitch tooth form spanning 8 to 12 TPI. The cutting edge uses a Vari-Raker tooth set, which reduces vibration and noise while improving chip evacuation during cuts. The spine is spring steel for flexibility and fatigue resistance, while the M42 high speed steel teeth deliver hardness and heat resistance. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metalworking shops rely on this blade for accurate, repeatable cuts through a broad range of metals.

This blade is suited for vertical or horizontal bandsaws used in professional trade and light industrial environments. It performs across a wide material range including carbon steel, alloy steel, tool steel, stainless steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern helps manage cutting pressure on both thin-walled sections and solid stock, making it a practical choice for shops that cut mixed material profiles without changing blades. It is sold individually and fits bandsaws requiring a 125-inch blade loop.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard metals
• Variable 8 to 12 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and suits a wide range of material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and smooth cutting action
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking during continuous use
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style for accurate contour and straight cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded blade for bandsaws requiring a 125-inch blade loop with a 3/4-inch blade width. Compatible with cutting operations on alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and the blade tension released before removal. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Verify blade tracking and tension according to the saw manufacturer specifications before powering the machine. Inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear at the time of blade change.
