Lenox 80269D2B144545 Bandsaw Blade 14-18 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80269D2B144545 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of materials. Measuring 14 feet 11 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form at 14 to 18 TPI, which reduces vibration and improves cut quality compared to fixed-pitch blades. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, delivering heat and wear resistance during high-cycle cutting. The spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metalworking shops rely on blades of this spec for production and job-site cutting tasks.

This blade is suited for contour cutting and straight cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The wavy tooth set and variable pitch pattern make it effective across varying material thicknesses and hardness levels. It is part of the LENOX Classic series and is sold individually as a single welded loop ready to install on compatible 14 to 15-inch bandsaw machines.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive materials
• Variable pitch 14 to 18 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and surface chatter
• Wavy tooth set optimized for thin-wall and variable-thickness stock
• Spring steel back resists blade fatigue and cracking under continuous use
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• 0.043 inches kerf width minimizes material loss per cut

Compatibility

Designed as a welded loop replacement bandsaw blade for vertical band saws that accept a 14 feet 11 inches blade length and 0.5 inches blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the bandsaw manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lockout the machine before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as teeth are exposed along the full length. Verify blade tension and blade guide alignment after installation before resuming cuts.
