Lenox 81643D2B103315 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14-18 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 81643D2B103315 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting operations across a wide range of metals and materials. Measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 14 to 18 teeth per inch (TPI). The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance at the cutting edge, while the spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during extended use. Suitable for professional metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance operations where consistent, accurate contour cutting is required.

This blade is designed for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in metal cutting applications. Its variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, which is especially beneficial when cutting irregular cross-sections or tubing. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The wavy tooth set distributes cut forces evenly, extending blade life in high-demand production environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch design (14 to 18 TPI) reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varied cross-sections
• Wavy tooth set distributes cutting forces and extends blade service life
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, and wood
• 0.0430-inch kerf width for precise material removal control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 10 feet 10.5-inch length, 0.5-inch wide blade in metalworking and fabrication applications.

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 machine before removing the existing blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide alignment per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard.
