Lenox 79700CLB113480 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 79700CLB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals in stationary band saw applications. The blade measures 137 inches (11 feet 5 inches) in length and 3/4 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch pattern. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, providing hardness and heat resistance suited for demanding cutting cycles. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch design work together to reduce vibration and improve cut quality. This blade is installed by metal fabricators, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service technicians.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch configuration makes it effective across a range of material thicknesses and cross-sections, including solid bar stock, tubing, and structural shapes. It is intended for use in stationary vertical or horizontal band saw machines that accept a 137-inch blade loop. The Classic series designation places it in LENOX's standard production line for general metalworking environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch reduces harmonics and vibration during cutting
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and extends blade life
• 0.0580-inch kerf width for efficient material removal
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge for smooth finishes across multiple materials
• Rated for cutting alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed for stationary band saw machines that accept a 137-inch welded blade loop with a 3/4-inch blade width. Suitable for general metalworking applications across alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before changing blades. Ensure blade guides and blade tension are set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the blade weld and tooth condition before each use; do not operate a blade with a cracked weld or missing teeth.
