Lenox 80197D2B72360 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80197D2B72360 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a broad range of materials. Measuring 93 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, it runs 0.025 inches thick with a variable-pitch tooth form spanning 8 to 12 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers superior edge retention, while the spring steel back provides the flexibility needed to withstand the stress of continuous bandsaw operation. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern work together to reduce vibration and harmonic noise during cuts, improving both blade life and cut quality. This blade is installed by machinists, metal fabricators, and trade professionals working with horizontal or vertical bandsaws.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch and contour-cutting capability make it a practical choice for production shops, job sites, and maintenance facilities where stock varies in cross-section and material type. Its 93-inch length fits bandsaws requiring that wheel circumference, and the 0.5-inch width is appropriate for straight cuts as well as moderate-radius contour work.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and suits a wide range of material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent feed rate
• Contour cutting capability allows moderate-radius cuts in addition to straight stock cutting
• 0.043-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with a broad material application range including stainless, aluminum, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws requiring a 93-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width. Confirm wheel spacing and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or equipment technician. Power down and lock out the bandsaw at the disconnect before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify proper blade tension according to the saw manufacturer's specification and confirm blade tracking before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
