Lenox 82632GTB123660 Bandsaw Blade 12ft 1-1/4in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 82632GTB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade shop environments. Part of the Contestor GT series, this blade measures 12 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.068 inches. The tooth profile uses a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with a positive rake angle and Vari-Set tooth set, reducing vibration and improving chip clearance across a wide range of material thicknesses. The high-speed steel M42 teeth are ground for precision and mounted on a spring steel back for fatigue resistance under continuous use. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and metal fabricators working with structural or specialty metals rely on this blade for accurate contour and straight cuts.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, nickel alloy, titanium, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel. Its variable pitch construction makes it effective across varying wall thicknesses and cross-sections, reducing the risk of tooth stripping on thin-walled tubing or sheet stock while maintaining feed rate on solid bar stock. It is appropriate for use in production shops, HVAC fabrication, pipe fitting operations, and tool rooms where consistent, repeatable cuts on mixed material types are required.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended tooth life on hard metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with positive rake angle reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting load and minimizes blade drift
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance during extended cutting cycles
• Ground tooth form delivers precise kerf geometry at 0.068 inches width
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloy, aluminum, and additional non-ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement or new-install bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 12-foot blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify wheel spacing, blade guides, and tension capacity on the specific saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw completely before removing the old blade or mounting a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Follow the saw manufacturer specifications for blade tension, guide bearing clearance, and break-in feed rate when running a new blade.
