Lenox 82135D2B144445 Bandsaw Blade 14-18 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 82135D2B144445 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals and materials. Measuring 14 feet 7 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 TPI. The M42 high speed steel teeth are bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade both edge retention and the flex needed to resist fatigue through continuous cuts. The wavy tooth set and 0.043-inch kerf width help clear chips efficiently during contour and straight-line cutting operations. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic series and is sold as a single unit.

This blade is suited for contour cutting on vertical bandsaws in professional shop, fabrication, and maintenance environments. Its multi-material capability makes it appropriate for production work involving alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable pitch design reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it particularly well-suited for cutting varying cross-sections or bundled stock. Fabricators, machinists, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for vertical bandsaws accepting a 14-foot 7-inch loop with a 0.5-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician familiar with the specific saw model in use. Always power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or threading the new one through blade guides and wheel guards. Verify blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard even when the machine is off.
