Lenox 82628GTB113505 Bandsaw Blade 138in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 82628GTB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 138 inches (11 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, this blade operates at a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI. The tooth body is M42 high speed steel set in a spring steel back, delivering the hardness needed for interrupted cuts and difficult alloys. The Vari-Set tooth geometry reduces vibration and helps extend blade life on vertical and horizontal band saws used in production shops and maintenance facilities.

This blade is intended for professional metal-cutting operations on a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, nickel alloy, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it a practical choice for cutting solid bar, structural shapes, and tubing where consistent chip load matters. It is sized for band saws that accept 138-inch blades and is sold as a single welded loop ready for immediate installation.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth form reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varied cross-sections
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal on metals including stainless steel, titanium, and nickel alloy
• Ground, variable cutting edge style for consistent tooth geometry across the full blade length
• Kerf width of 0.0700 inches delivers accurate cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded loop construction eliminates the need for field joining before installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fit for band saws that accept a 138-inch (11 feet 6 inches) blade length with a 1-1/4-inch width capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Power down and lockout the band saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify that blade guides, tension settings, and wheel tracking are correctly adjusted for a 1-1/4-inch wide blade before resuming operation. Do not exceed the blade speed or feed rate specified by the saw manufacturer for the material being cut.
