Lenox 79696CLB103050 Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft 3/4 in 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79696CLB103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. At 10 feet long and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade fits standard vertical and horizontal metal-cutting bandsaw frames. The variable-pitch tooth form runs 8 to 12 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, which reduces vibration and chatter across varying cross-sections. High speed steel M42 tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade flexibility to resist fatigue while maintaining edge hardness through demanding cuts.

This blade is suited for job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations where a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock is cut regularly. The variable pitch pattern makes it practical for structural shapes, tubing, solid bar, and plate. Typical users include pipefitters, millwrights, metal fabricators, and maintenance machinists who need a single blade capable of handling mixed material queues without constant blade changes.

Key Features

• Variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality on irregular cross-sections
• M42 high speed steel tooth tips provide extended edge life on alloy steel, stainless steel, and tool steel
• Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting load evenly across the blade width
• Spring steel back resists fatigue cracking during continuous bandsaw operation
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction provides a consistent, joint-free loop for smooth blade tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 10-foot blade loop, 3/4-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide specifications on the target machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the specific bandsaw model. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's tension specifications for 3/4-inch bi-metal blades — do not rely on generic tension estimates. Inspect blade guides, wheel tires, and brush assemblies before mounting a new blade to avoid premature wear.
