Lenox 83198D2B72425 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 83198D2B72425 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for professional cutting applications across a wide range of materials. Measuring 95.5 inches long and 0.5 inches wide with a 0.025-inch thickness, it features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 8 to 12 TPI, which reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varying stock sizes. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade both edge retention and flexibility under load. Licensed contractors, pipefitters, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this blade type.

This blade is suited for contour cutting and straight cutting operations on a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and wood. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it especially effective when cutting mixed or irregular cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or load up. It is designed for use on benchtop and floor-standing band saws that accept blades in the 95.5-inch length and 0.5-inch width configuration.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves finish quality
• M42 bi-metal construction combines high speed steel teeth with a flexible spring steel back
• 0.043-inch kerf width minimizes material waste during cutting
• Supports contour cutting in addition to straight cuts
• Compatible with a wide material range: ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• No rake angle tooth geometry suits general-purpose and structural material applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for band saws accepting a 95.5-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width. Verify your saw manufacturer specifications for blade length, width, and thickness tolerances before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw setup and tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before changing blades. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for blade tension, blade tracking, and guide adjustment. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades, as edges are sharp before and after use.
