Lenox 82667GTB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 82667GTB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Part of the Contestor GT series, it measures 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a 2 to 3 TPI variable pitch. The tooth body is M42 high speed steel with a Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle, designed to cut efficiently through a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople are the primary installers and operators of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour-free production sawing on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 15-foot, 1-1/4-inch blade. The variable pitch and ground tooth form reduce vibration and harmonics during cuts through thick-section workpieces. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, nickel alloy, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is well matched to shops running mixed-material cut schedules where a single blade must handle varying stock profiles and hardnesses.

Key Features

• Contestor GT series bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard metals
• Variable pitch (2 to 3 TPI) with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Ground toothed cutting edge delivers consistent kerf width of 0.0700 inches
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous cycling
• Welded construction for use on standard continuous-loop bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines requiring a 15-foot blade with a 1-1/4-inch width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting a new one, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Confirm correct blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
