Lenox 79694CLB103315 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79694CLB103315 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade designed for metal-cutting bandsaws in professional trade and industrial environments. Measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, it features a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 8 to 12 TPI. The high speed steel M42 tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance for extended cutting life. A spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous saw cycles. This blade is installed by machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople who cut a range of metals on horizontal or vertical bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance cutting of alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable-pitch Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cutting, which is especially useful when cutting tubing, structural shapes, and solids of varying cross-sections. It is appropriate for both shop and field fabrication environments where consistent, clean cuts across multiple material types are required.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard metals
• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes harmonic noise and promotes chip clearance
• Spring steel back resists fatigue through repeated flexing on continuous-loop bandsaws
• 0.058-inch kerf width for efficient material removal with minimal waste
• Compatible with a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 10 feet 10.5 inch loop length and 0.75 inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the saw powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, throat depth, and blade guides are set to accommodate the 0.75 inch blade width before tensioning. Do not exceed the blade speed rating of the saw for the material being cut. Inspect blade welds and tooth set prior to first use and replace at first sign of cracking or tooth stripping.
