Lenox 79693CLB82500 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79693CLB82500 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting across a wide range of metals and structural materials. Measuring 98.5 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width with a 0.035-inch body thickness, it carries a variable 10 to 14 TPI tooth pattern that transitions smoothly through varying material cross-sections. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips deliver hardness and heat resistance for extended edge life, while the spring steel back provides flex and fatigue resistance during extended cuts. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and metal fabricators working with structural steel, stainless, or aluminum stock are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for bandsaw applications involving alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonics when cutting irregular profiles or bundled stock, making it a practical choice for job-site pipe cutting, fabrication shop use, and maintenance operations where material types vary. It is not designed for contour cutting. The Classic series targets production and general-purpose cutting environments where consistent weld integrity and tooth geometry matter.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel tooth tips for extended wear life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency
• Spring steel back resists fatigue during long-duration or high-feed cuts
• 0.0580-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction provides a consistent, reliable joint suited for production environments

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaws that accept a 98.5-inch blade length and 3/4-inch blade width. Compatible with alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and general non-ferrous metal cutting applications. Not intended for contour cutting operations.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing this one. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing clearance according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades, as teeth and the welded joint present laceration hazards.
