Lenox 79709CLB144420 Bandsaw Blade 14 Ft 6 in 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 79709CLB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals. It measures 174 inches in overall length and 0.75 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The tooth edge features a variable pitch of 10 to 14 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, reducing vibration and heat buildup during cuts. The cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel, a cobalt-enhanced alloy that holds an edge longer on tough or abrasive workpieces. The spring steel back provides flex resistance under continuous band tension. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic series and is intended for professional metalworking environments.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws commonly found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and plumbing or HVAC trade environments. Material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern makes it a practical single-blade choice when the shop processes a variety of stock profiles and wall thicknesses rather than dedicating separate blades to each material type.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth with cobalt content for extended edge life on hard metals
• Variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chatter
• Spring steel back resists fatigue cracking under continuous band tension
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction provides a consistent, smooth-running joint
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 174-inch loop length and 0.75-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the worn blade or mounting the new one. Confirm wheel guides and blade guides are adjusted to the correct width before tensioning. Refer to the saw manufacturer specifications for proper tension settings, as over-tensioning a bi-metal blade can reduce fatigue life.
