Lenox 81488D2B144420 Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 81488D2B144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous contour cutting across a wide range of materials. The blade measures 14 feet 6 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The tooth construction uses M42 high-speed steel tips bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade both edge retention and flex resistance during extended cutting cycles. At 10 teeth per inch with a constant pitch and straight tooth form, this blade is suited for general-purpose metal cutting work. Licensed trades and fabrication shops rely on this blade for production-level bandsaw applications.

This blade is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in metal fabrication, maintenance, and industrial service environments. The LENOX Classic series 81488D2B144420 handles a broad material application range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The single-level tooth set and no-rake-angle tooth geometry are optimized for controlled, repeatable cuts in both thin-wall and solid stock profiles. This blade is commonly installed by machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators in shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to prevent laceration from tooth edges.
