Lenox 80343D2B123660 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 80343D2B123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting in demanding trade and shop environments. The blade measures 12 feet long and 1/2 inch wide, with a 0.035 inch thickness and a 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch pattern. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel set into a spring steel back, combining edge retention with resistance to blade fatigue. At 10 TPI with a straight tooth form and single level set, this blade delivers consistent, controlled cuts across a wide range of materials. It is suited for metal fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and maintenance professionals who run vertical or horizontal band saws regularly.

This blade is designed for contour cutting applications across a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The 10 TPI configuration handles medium-thickness stock efficiently, making it a practical choice for general-purpose cutting in fabrication, HVAC rough-in work, plumbing, and industrial maintenance. The welded construction provides a consistent joint and uniform blade tension throughout the cut.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect power to the saw and release all blade tension before removing the old blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled bandsaw blades, as spring-back can cause injury. Follow the machine manufacturer's tensioning specifications and tracking adjustment procedures before running the blade under load.
