Lenox 82378D2B144445 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 82378D2B144445 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals and other materials. The blade spans 175 inches in total length and measures 1/4 inch wide with a 0.025-inch thickness. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 10 to 14 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration during the cut and helps extend blade life. High speed steel M42 teeth are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade flexibility without sacrificing edge hardness. Licensed HVAC techs, metalworking machinists, and fabricators who run vertical or horizontal bandsaws will find this blade suited for both straight and contour cuts.

This blade is built for contour cutting and straight cuts on alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The variable Vari-Raker tooth set and milled cutting edge style make it adaptable across light and heavy cross-sections. Typical install scenarios include job-shop floor bandsaws, portable band cutting setups on construction sites, and maintenance shops where a single blade must handle mixed-material cutting without frequent changes.

Key Features

• Variable-pitch 10 to 14 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and chatter during cuts
• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Vari-Raker tooth set with milled cutting edge for clean, accurate kerfs at 0.0430-inch kerf width
• Contour cutting capable — handles curves and irregular profiles in addition to straight cuts
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, structural steel, tool steel, and wood
• LENOX Classic Series construction with welded joints for consistent tension across the full blade length

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare blade for vertical and horizontal bandsaws that accept a 175-inch (14 feet 7 inches) blade loop in 1/4-inch width. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the host saw manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out the saw from its power source before removing the old blade or threading the new one. Verify blade tension using the saw's built-in tension scale or a dedicated blade-tension gauge — under- or over-tensioning shortens blade life and can cause blade fracture. Allow the blade to run under light load for several minutes before full-feed cutting to seat the teeth and relieve residual weld stress.
