Lenox 79687CLB92920 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79687CLB92920 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. The blade measures 9 feet 7 inches in length and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The cutting edge uses a variable pitch, vari-raker tooth set in the 10 to 14 TPI range, which reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during the cut. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with flex fatigue resistance. This blade is installed by machinists and metal fabricators on horizontal or vertical bandsaw machines in shop and production environments.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form makes it effective across varying cross-sections and wall thicknesses, reducing the need to swap blades between material types. It is a practical choice for job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations where mixed-material cutting is common.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex life
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI with vari-raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• 3/4-inch blade width with 0.035-inch body thickness suits standard metal-cutting bandsaw wheel sizes
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, and structural steel
• Classic series welded construction for consistent weld integrity and blade tracking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 9-foot 7-inch blade length at 3/4-inch width.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician with the bandsaw fully de-energized and the machine guard removed per the saw manufacturer's procedure. Verify wheel-to-wheel distance matches the blade length before tensioning, and set blade tension and guide bearings according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications for 3/4-inch blade width. Do not exceed the recommended blade speed for the material being cut, and allow a brief break-in period at reduced feed rate on initial use to seat the tooth set and extend blade life.
