Lenox 80287D2B134115 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80287D2B134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of metal and structural materials in professional shop and fabrication environments. At 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) long and 1/2 inch wide, with a 0.025-inch blade thickness and a variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch pattern, this blade handles a wide range of material thicknesses without requiring a blade change. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides hardness and heat resistance under sustained cutting loads. The spring steel back resists fatigue and flexing during long cuts. Licensed tradespeople and shop fabricators are the primary installers and users.

This blade is suited for use on bandsaw machines set up for metal cutting in residential shops, commercial fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce harmonic vibration during cuts, making it effective across a broad range of workpiece thicknesses. It is rated for contour cutting and handles alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The 0.043-inch kerf width is appropriate for precision cuts where material loss needs to stay controlled.

Key Features

• Variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• M42 high-speed steel teeth deliver extended cutting life on hard and abrasive materials
• Spring steel back resists blade fatigue and breakage during continuous operation
• Vari-Raker tooth set optimizes chip clearance for smooth, consistent cuts
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles
• Compatible with a broad material range including stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 162-inch (13 feet 6 inches) blade length with a 1/2-inch width.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify blade tension and tracking according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect blade guides and guide bearings for wear before installing a new blade to avoid premature failure.
