Lenox 82654GTB134115 Bandsaw Blade 162in 1-1/4in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 82654GTB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and job-shop environments. Measuring 162 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, this blade uses an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge bonded to a spring steel back. The variable-pitch, Vari-Set tooth geometry reduces harmonic vibration and helps control chip load across a wide range of material thicknesses. With a 3 to 4 TPI variable tooth form and a kerf width of 0.0700 inches, it delivers clean, efficient cuts on both thin-walled and solid stock. Part of the Contestor GT series, it is suited for shops that cut a broad mix of metals in a single shift.

This blade is designed for vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines with a 162-inch blade path. It performs across a wide material range including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, nickel alloy, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The positive rake angle and ground tooth profile make it particularly effective when cutting harder alloys and exotic metals where blade life and cut quality are critical. It is a standard choice for maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and metal service centers.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and exotic alloys
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) with Vari-Set tooth set to reduce vibration and noise
• Ground, positive-rake tooth form for clean cuts and consistent chip evacuation
• Spring steel back for fatigue resistance through continuous bandsaw operation
• 0.0700-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction — ready to install, no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines with a 162-inch blade path and a 1-1/4-inch blade guide width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and blade tension rating on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or installing this one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Confirm proper blade tension per the machine manufacturer's specification and check blade tracking before resuming cuts.
