Lenox 80285D2B134040 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80285D2B134040 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting across a wide range of materials in professional metalworking and fabrication environments. Measuring 159 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025-inch blade thickness, it runs a variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch pattern that reduces vibration and blade harmonics during the cut. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back for a combination of edge retention and flex resistance. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and operators of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour cutting on vertical or horizontal band saws in shop and production settings. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch design makes it a practical single-blade solution when a shop cuts varied stock sizes and material types throughout the day without frequent blade changes.

Compatibility

Designed for band saws accepting a 159-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width. Verify blade length, width, and drive wheel specifications on the saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Confirm proper blade tension per the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the tooth edge is sharp along its full length.
