Lenox 80263D2B123660 Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80263D2B123660 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of materials. At 12 feet long and 1/2 inch wide with a 0.025-inch blade thickness, it is sized for standard vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in metal fabrication, maintenance shops, and trade service work. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth in a Vari-Raker tooth set, delivering a variable pitch of 8 to 12 TPI that reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts. Licensed technicians and fabricators installing or replacing blades on shop bandsaws will find this a direct-fit drop-in for machines accepting 12-foot loop blades.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch tooth form makes it a versatile choice when a shop handles mixed-material workloads without swapping blades between jobs. It is appropriate for both residential service shops and light commercial fabrication environments where a single blade needs to perform across multiple stock types. Contour cutting capability extends its usefulness to radius and profile work beyond straight crosscuts.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard metals including stainless and tool steel
• Variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes blade loading and chip packing
• Spring steel back provides flex resistance and fatigue life in continuous-weld loop format
• Contour cutting capability supports curved and radius cuts in addition to straight work
• Compatible with a broad material range: alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement welded bandsaw blade for machines accepting a 12-foot blade loop with 1/2-inch blade width. Verify wheel diameter, guide clearance, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's service procedures. Power down and lock out the machine at the disconnect before opening the blade guards or removing the existing blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade loop. Confirm proper blade tension, wheel tracking, and guide bearing alignment before returning the machine to service.
