Lenox 80161D2B51640 Bandsaw Blade 64.5 in 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80161D2B51640 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. It measures 64.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches and a kerf width of 0.043 inches. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 8 to 12 TPI, reducing vibration and harmonics across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a flexible spring steel back, giving the blade durability under the heat and stress of production or maintenance cutting environments. Licensed metalworking technicians, fabricators, and maintenance trades install this blade.

This blade is suited for both production shop and maintenance facility bandsaws cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective across thin-wall tube, solid bar, and irregular structural profiles. It is appropriate for light industrial and commercial metalworking applications where a single blade must handle mixed material and cross-section sizes without a blade change.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish across varying material cross-sections
• M42 high-speed steel tooth tips for extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent feed
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style for contour and straight cutting
• Welded construction for use on standard vertical or horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 64.5-inch blade loop with a 0.5-inch width. Confirmed compatible with materials including alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood per manufacturer application data.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Verify wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and blade length specification on the bandsaw before mounting. Tension and track the blade according to the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming cutting operations.
