Lenox 81640D2B51630 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 81640D2B51630 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for contour and straight cutting across a wide range of materials. Measuring 64.25 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025-inch blade thickness, it uses a variable 10 to 14 TPI tooth pattern to balance cutting speed with surface finish. The M42 high speed steel tooth construction bonded to a spring steel back gives this blade durability under demanding cutting cycles. It is installed on bandsaw equipment by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in industrial and light manufacturing environments.

This blade is suited for metal cutting applications across both production and job-shop settings. Its variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set help reduce vibration and chatter, which is especially useful when cutting structural sections, tubing, and irregular profiles. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood, making it a versatile blade for mixed-material shops or service operations where frequent material changes occur.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality on irregular or varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set with no rake angle supports stable cutting across a broad material range
• 0.043-inch kerf width minimizes material waste during cuts
• Contour cutting capability for curved and complex profiles
• Welded blade in a fixed 64.25-inch loop, ready to install without additional joining

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 64.25-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel spacing before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully powered down and isolated from its power source. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's guidelines for blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearance. Blade tension and guide settings that do not match the blade width and thickness can accelerate wear or cause premature blade failure.
