Lenox 82662GTB134115 Bandsaw Blade 162 in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 82662GTB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 162 inches in total length and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a variable-pitch tooth configuration running 4 to 6 TPI. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material and Vari-Set tooth geometry are designed to handle interrupted cuts and variable stock profiles while maintaining edge life. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians typically install and operate this blade on horizontal or vertical bandsaw machines.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, titanium, nickel alloy, aluminum, bearing steel, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it a practical choice for production shops dealing with mixed-material workloads or varying cross-section profiles. It is part of the LENOX Contestor GT series, which targets general-purpose industrial metal-cutting at high cycle volumes.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and exotic metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and noise during the cut
• Vari-Set tooth geometry improves chip clearance and cut surface finish
• Spring steel back construction provides fatigue resistance under continuous tension
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive, efficient stock removal
• 0.068-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement blade for industrial bandsaws accepting a 162-inch loop length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the machine fully before removing the old blade or threading the new one through the guides. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before running the blade under load. Inspect blade welds and tooth set before the first cut to confirm the blade seated correctly on both wheels.
