Lenox 80244D2B103050 Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80244D2B103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for cutting a wide range of metals and structural materials. It measures 10 feet in length and 1/2 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches and a kerf width of 0.043 inches. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 8 to 12 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, which reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material cross-sections. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides edge retention on hard and abrasive workpieces. Blade fabrication uses spring steel backer stock for flexibility and fatigue resistance. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople install this blade on horizontal and vertical band saws in shop and production environments.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker configuration make it particularly well matched for interrupted cuts, bundle cutting, and workpieces with changing cross-sections. Contour cutting capability allows use on vertical bandsaws for curved or irregular profile work. The 10-foot welded loop fits a wide range of mid-size band saw machines common in metal fabrication and mechanical contractor shops.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for band saw machines accepting a 10-foot by 1/2-inch welded loop blade. No specific machine model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out before blade removal or installation. Verify blade tracking, tension, and guide bearing clearance according to the band saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Do not exceed the blade speed rating appropriate for the material being cut.
