Lenox 81915D2B51725 Bandsaw Blade 68 in 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 81915D2B51725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous loop cutting on vertical and horizontal band saws. It measures 68 inches in length and 0.5 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The tooth edge runs a variable 10 to 14 TPI pitch with a Vari-Raker tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and improve cut quality on a wide range of materials. The high speed steel teeth are set against a spring steel back, and the tooth material is rated M42, giving the blade good resistance to heat and wear during metal cutting operations. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and metal fabricators are the typical installers.

This blade is suited for both contour cutting and straight cuts in production and maintenance environments. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch pattern minimizes harmonic vibration when cutting tubing, structural shapes, and solid bar stock. It is part of the LENOX Classic series and is appropriate for light industrial and shop applications where a reliable general-purpose blade is needed.

Key Features

• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood
• Welded loop construction for use on standard continuous-band machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for vertical and horizontal band saw machines accepting a 68 inch by 0.5 inch continuous loop blade.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel alignment before tensioning to avoid premature blade fatigue. Do not exceed the blade speed and tension ratings specified by the band saw manufacturer for the blade width and material being cut.
