Lenox 81952D2B103100 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 81952D2B103100 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous contour cutting across a wide range of materials. At 122 inches (10 feet 2 inches) long and 0.5 inches wide, this blade fits standard vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in metal fabrication shops and maintenance facilities. The tooth edge is cut from M42 high-speed steel, which provides heat and wear resistance at the cutting tip, while the back is made from spring steel for flexibility and fatigue resistance. The variable pitch design, running 6 to 10 TPI, reduces vibration and noise during cuts and helps prevent tooth stripout on thin-walled sections.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It also handles wood. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it a practical general-purpose blade for shops that cut a mix of material types and cross-sections without changing blades. Typical installers are machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians running standard bandsaw equipment.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back
• Variable pitch (6 to 10 TPI) reduces vibration and tooth stripout risk
• Vari-Raker tooth set for consistent chip clearance across material types
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular workpiece profiles
• 0.043-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• LENOX Classic series — welded loop, ready to install

Compatibility

Designed to fit bandsaw machines that accept a 122-inch (10 feet 2 inches) blade loop that is 0.5 inches wide and 0.025 inches thick. Verify your saw's wheel size and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the saw manufacturer's instructions. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade — the teeth are sharp and the spring steel back can snap open unexpectedly. Tension and tracking adjustments should be made per the saw manufacturer's specifications before running the blade under load.
