Lenox 83281CLB92895 Welded Bandsaw Blade 9ft6in 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 83281CLB92895 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting applications. It measures 9 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. The blade features a variable pitch tooth form with 8 to 12 teeth per inch, which distributes cutting forces across the tooth range to reduce vibration and chatter during the cut. High speed steel M42 teeth are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back for durability under continuous use. This blade is intended for installation on stationary or portable vertical bandsaws and is suited to professional metal fabrication and maintenance environments.

This blade is designed for cutting a broad range of metals in industrial and commercial shop settings. Its material application list covers alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, making it a versatile option for shops that process mixed material workloads. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it particularly effective on tubing, structural shapes, and solid bar stock where consistent chip clearance is required. Licensed metalworking professionals and shop technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for cutting-edge retention and back flexibility
• Variable pitch tooth form at 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varied cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip evacuation across alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Toothed milled cutting edge for dimensional accuracy in contour-free straight cutting
• LENOX Classic Series construction for consistent weld quality and blade tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement bandsaw blade for stationary and portable metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 9-foot 6-inch blade length with a 1-inch blade width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension capacity on the saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Confirm proper blade tension, tracking alignment, and guide bearing clearance before resuming operation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
