Lenox 81631D2B72375 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 81631D2B72375 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for contour cutting across a broad range of materials. The blade measures 7 feet 9.5 inches in length and 0.25 inches in width, with a 0.025-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.043 inches. Running at 6 teeth per inch with a hook tooth form and positive rake angle, this blade delivers aggressive, efficient cuts in metal fabrication and general shop applications. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are fusion-welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade both toughness and flex resistance through repeated bending cycles. It is installed and tensioned by experienced metalworking and fabrication technicians.

This blade is suited for bandsaw machines requiring a 7 feet 9.5-inch loop length with a 0.25-inch wide blade. Its standard pitch pattern and single level tooth set make it appropriate for straight and contour cutting operations on alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The Classic series designation indicates a general-purpose workhorse profile rather than a specialized application-specific geometry. Typical installations are found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where one blade must handle varied stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended tooth life and blade flexibility
• Hook tooth form with positive rake angle for aggressive, chip-clearing cuts
• 6 TPI constant pitch at 0.043-inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• Single level tooth set for consistent cut tracking and reduced blade drift
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 7 feet 9.5-inch welded loop blade with a 0.25-inch blade width. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel width rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified metalworking or fabrication personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment before powering the saw. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Do not exceed the bandsaw manufacturer's rated blade width or tension specification for your wheel size.
