Lenox 80184D2B72260 Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80184D2B72260 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of materials. Measuring 7 feet 5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI, which reduces vibration and produces smoother cuts compared to constant-pitch designs. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance that extends blade life when cutting tough materials. A spring steel back provides the flexibility needed to withstand the stress of continuous band operation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, as well as metalworking professionals, rely on blades of this specification for production and service cutting tasks.

This blade is suited for both contour cutting and straight cutting applications on a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it a practical choice for cutting varying cross-sections and irregular profiles in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It is sized for standard bandsaw machines that accept a 7 feet 5 inch blade loop.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended wear life on hard materials
• Variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set optimizes chip clearance across variable material thicknesses
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance under continuous band tension
• 0.0430-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• Compatible with a broad range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 7 feet 5 inch loop, 1/2 inch wide blade. Verify blade length, width, and thickness against your machine's specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and unplugged before handling. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as edges remain sharp during mounting and removal. Inspect the blade welds and teeth for any damage before each use.
