Lenox 80202D2B72375 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80202D2B72375 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting in demanding shop and field environments. It measures 7 feet 9.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches (1/2 inch) in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches and a kerf width of 0.043 inches. The blade runs an 8 to 12 TPI variable pitch configuration with a Vari-Raker tooth set, which reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with fatigue resistance. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades alongside metalworking shops rely on this blade for cutting tubing, structural shapes, and a wide range of metals.

This blade is suited for both contour and straight cutting operations on horizontal and vertical bandsaws. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker geometry make it effective across a broad material range, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. It is a strong choice for production cutting environments where a single blade must handle varied stock sizes and materials. The Classic series positioning places it as a general-purpose workhorse for medium-duty bandsaw applications.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• 0.043 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour cutting capable for curved and profile cuts
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and tool steel
• Pre-welded loop ready to install directly on compatible bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 7 foot 9.5 inch loop length and 1/2 inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or looped blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before making test cuts, and confirm blade guides are properly adjusted for the 1/2 inch blade width.
