Lenox 81946D2B103050 Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft 14-18 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 81946D2B103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting on stationary band saw machines. It runs 10 feet in total length and measures 1/2 inch wide by 0.025 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 14 to 18 teeth per inch. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are set in a wavy pattern on a spring steel back, providing durability and resistance to tooth strippage under variable load. The Classic series construction suits shops and trade pros who need a reliable, general-purpose blade across a wide range of workpiece materials.

This blade is suited for contour cutting applications in residential and commercial shop environments, fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal operations, and mechanical contractor settings. The variable 14 to 18 TPI pitch handles a broad material application range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The wavy tooth set and milled toothed edge reduce vibration and produce a consistent kerf width of 0.043 inches across varying stock thicknesses and profiles.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 14 to 18 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and suits a wide range of material thicknesses
• Wavy tooth set with no rake angle for controlled, burr-minimized cuts on metals and wood
• Kerf width of 0.043 inches for consistent, repeatable cuts
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profiles
• Pre-welded loop — no field welding required, ready to mount on compatible band saw wheels

Compatibility

Designed for stationary band saws with a 10-foot blade capacity and wheel geometry that accepts a 1/2-inch wide blade. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and drive wheel crown profile before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting this one. Verify blade tension according to the band saw manufacturer's specifications and confirm blade tracking is centered on the wheels before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop.
