Lenox 80149D2B92970 Bandsaw Blade 9ft9in 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80149D2B92970 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting across a wide range of metals and other materials. At 9 feet 9 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, it fits standard bandsaw machines used in fabrication shops and metal service centers. The blade is 0.025 inches thick with a 0.043-inch kerf width. Tooth material is M42 high-speed steel set in a spring steel back, with a variable-pitch, vari-raker tooth form running 8 to 12 TPI. This combination drives efficient chip evacuation and reduces vibration during cuts in both thin and thick stock.

This blade is suited for contour cutting operations on alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch pattern makes it a general-purpose choice for shops that cycle through different material types and cross-sections without swapping blades. It is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy fabrication bandsaw setups where a reliable, pre-welded blade is preferred over bulk coil stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch, vari-raker tooth form reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish across varying material thicknesses
• 8 to 12 TPI range supports cutting of both thin-walled and solid-section workpieces without blade change
• 0.043-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour cutting capable, suitable for curved and irregular profiles
• Pre-welded to 9 feet 9 inches, ready to install directly on compatible bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 9-foot 9-inch welded blade with 1/2-inch width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and throat depth against machine specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's service documentation. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Confirm blade tracking and tension per the machine's tension chart after mounting. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted at each blade change to prevent premature wear.
