Lenox 80283D2B123910 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80283D2B123910 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals and materials. Measuring 12 feet 10 inches in length and 1/2 inch wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, this blade is built around a spring steel back and M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form, ranging from 10 to 14 TPI, reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, improving both finish quality and blade life. The Vari-Raker tooth set controls chip flow and helps prevent tooth strippage when transitioning between material thicknesses. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and general trade technicians who cut metal conduit, pipe, or structural stock will find this blade a dependable shop and field tool.

This blade is suited for use on portable and stationary band saws in residential and commercial trade shops. The variable pitch design makes it especially effective when cutting interrupted cuts, bundles, or sections of varying wall thickness. Approved material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The Classic series designation places this blade in LENOX standard production lineup for general metalcutting work.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician following the band saw manufacturer's guidelines. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing or installing any blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Confirm proper blade tracking and tension before resuming cuts, and do not exceed the saw's rated blade speed for the material being cut.
