Lenox 80199D2B72360 Bandsaw Blade 93in 14-18 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80199D2B72360 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 93 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a thickness of 0.025 inches, this blade pairs a high-speed steel M42 tooth edge with a spring steel back for durability under continuous load. The variable pitch tooth form runs 14 to 18 TPI with a wavy tooth set, which reduces vibration and noise during the cut. A kerf width of 0.043 inches keeps material loss low. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and metalworking shops rely on this blade for production and job-site band saw work across a broad range of materials.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical band saw machines used in light industrial, fabrication, and shop settings. Its variable pitch design makes it a practical choice when cutting a mix of cross-sections or transitioning between material types without swapping blades. Rated for contour cutting, it handles curved and straight cuts alike. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood, making it a versatile blade for general metalworking and fabrication environments.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long blade life under high-cycle use
• Variable pitch 14 to 18 TPI with wavy tooth set reduces vibration and chatter
• 93-inch welded loop eliminates weld failure risk common with shop-welded blades
• 0.043-inch kerf width minimizes material waste on tight-tolerance cuts
• Contour cutting capable for both curved and straight passes
• Rated for a wide material range: alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for band saw machines that accept a 93-inch by 0.5-inch blade with a 0.025-inch gauge; verify your machine's blade length, width, and gauge specifications before installation.

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 coiled blade. Check blade tension and blade guide alignment after mounting according to the band saw manufacturer's service manual. Inspect the blade welds and teeth before each use and remove the blade from service at the first sign of cracking, missing teeth, or set loss.
