Lenox 79681CLB123910 Bandsaw Blade 12ft 10in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79681CLB123910 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous-duty cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 12 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the flexibility to resist fatigue while the tooth edge holds hardness against tough workpieces. The Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metal fabricators use this blade on vertical and horizontal bandsaws for production and job-site cutting tasks.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design makes it effective across varying wall thicknesses and cross-sections, reducing chatter on thin-wall tubing as well as solid bar stock. It is a non-contour cutting blade, so it is intended for straight cuts on appropriate metal-cutting bandsaw equipment. Fabricators and maintenance technicians working in industrial and commercial settings will find this blade appropriate for general-purpose metal stock preparation.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for toughness and fatigue resistance
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and chatter across varying material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and extends blade life
• 0.058-inch kerf width provides efficient material removal without excessive waste
• Welded construction for consistent length and reliable joining at blade ends
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot 10-inch blade length with a 1-inch width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Always power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing or installing a blade. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing clearances per the saw manufacturer specifications before making the first cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
