Lenox 79689CLB113480 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79689CLB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in trade and industrial environments. The blade measures 137 inches in total length and 3/4 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch body thickness and a variable-pitch tooth form ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance, while the spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, as well as fabrication shops, rely on this blade for cutting a wide range of metals with consistent results.

This blade is suited for use on vertical or horizontal band saws in commercial fabrication, mechanical contracting shops, and maintenance facilities. The variable-pitch tooth geometry reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts, which is especially useful when transitioning through varying material cross-sections. It is appropriate for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and extends blade service life across these material types.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for hardness and extended wear life in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and chatter during cuts
• Spring steel back construction provides flexibility and fatigue resistance
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency
• 0.058-inch kerf width delivers consistent, repeatable cuts
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style for versatile material application

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for band saws accepting a 137-inch blade length and 3/4-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the saw fully de-energized and unplugged before handling. Verify that wheel guides, blade guards, and tension settings are adjusted per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and coiling the blade. Confirm blade tracking and tension after initial startup before committing to production cuts.
