Lenox 80735CLB92970 Bandsaw Blade 9ft 9in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 80735CLB92970 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication and machine shop environments. The blade measures 9 feet 9 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width with a 0.035-inch thickness, running a variable-pitch tooth pattern of 5 to 8 TPI. The teeth are M42 high-speed steel with a Vari-Raker tooth set, providing aggressive stock removal while reducing vibration and blade fatigue on interrupted cuts. Licensed tradespeople and machine operators working with structural, alloy, carbon, stainless, and tool steels will find this blade well-suited to production-level work.

This blade is designed for vertical or horizontal bandsaws accepting a 9-foot 9-inch loop with a 3/4-inch blade width. Its variable tooth form and Vari-Raker set make it effective across a range of cross-sections, from thin-wall tubing to solid bar stock. Material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel. It is not configured for contour cutting. The blade ships pre-welded and ready to mount, suited to production shops and tool rooms performing repetitive straight cuts.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and edge retention
• Variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and extends blade life on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 0.058-inch kerf width provides clean cuts with minimal material loss
• Pre-welded loop construction allows direct installation on compatible bandsaw machines
• LENOX Classic series — designed for general-purpose industrial metal cutting across a broad material range

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare bandsaw blade for machines that accept a 9-foot 9-inch blade loop with a 3/4-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Follow the machine manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications for a 3/4-inch blade. Inspect blade guides, guide bearings, and wheel tires before mounting a new blade to avoid premature wear.
