Lenox 83293CLB154725 Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 83293CLB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Stretching 186 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide, this blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 8 to 12 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and delivers smoother cuts across a range of stock thicknesses. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel set in a Vari-Raker configuration, providing extended blade life when cutting hard and abrasive metals. Licensed HVAC, metalworking, and fabrication professionals who rely on consistent blade performance will find this a dependable shop consumable.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 186-inch blade loop. It handles a broad material application range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form minimizes chatter on thin-walled tubing, solid bar, and structural sections, making it a practical choice for job shops and maintenance facilities that cut varied stock throughout the day.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for combined flexibility and cutting hardness
• Variable 8 to 12 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and improves cut surface finish on varied stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set geometry promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent tooth engagement
• 0.042-inch blade thickness with a 0.068-inch kerf width minimizes material waste per cut
• Compatible material range spans stainless steel, tool steel, alloy steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals
• Factory-welded loop ready to install without on-site brazing or blade joining

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct shop consumable for bandsaw machines that accept a 186-inch blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's service documentation. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing the new one. Verify that blade guides, tracking wheels, and tensioning components are in serviceable condition prior to running the new blade. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are standard PPE when handling bandsaw blades.
