Lenox 80162D2B51640 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80162D2B51640 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for variable-pitch cutting across a wide range of metals and materials. At 64.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, it runs on portable and stationary band saws used in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service environments. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth in a Vari-Raker set pattern, delivering chip clearance and cut quality on interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections. With a TPI range of 10 to 14 and a kerf width of 0.0430 inches, it balances aggressive stock removal with surface finish across both thin-wall and solid stock.

This blade is suited for professional cutting applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and structural fabrication work where material variety demands a versatile blade. Its material compatibility list covers alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood, making it a single-blade solution for mixed-material job sites. The contour-cutting capability adds value when working curved profiles or irregular stock. Technicians and fabricators who need reliable performance across multiple material types without frequent blade swaps will find this a practical choice.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch at 10 to 14 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip evacuation and extends blade life on dense materials
• Kerf width of 0.0430 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour-cutting capable, handling curved profiles and irregular stock
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for portable and stationary band saws accepting a 64.5-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the band saw powered off, unplugged, and blade tension fully released before removal or fitment. Verify wheel diameter and blade-length compatibility with the saw manufacturer specifications before installing. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for tracking adjustment and tension setting after installation.
