Lenox 83541CLB82690 Bandsaw Blade 106 in 10-14 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 83541CLB82690 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. At 106 inches long and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits a range of standard vertical bandsaws used in fabrication and machine shops. The variable-pitch, Vari-Raker tooth set spans 10 to 14 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving chip evacuation during cuts. The cutting edge is M42 high speed steel, while the back is spring steel for flexibility and fatigue resistance. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern makes it a practical choice for cross-cutting stock of varying wall thickness or interrupted cuts where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. It is intended for use on welded-loop horizontal or vertical bandsaw machines sized to accept a 106-inch blade. The LENOX Classic series targets production cutting environments where blade life and cut quality are both priorities.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard metals including stainless and tool steel
• Variable pitch (10 to 14 TPI) with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and noise during the cut
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking under continuous use
• 0.058-inch kerf width delivers efficient material removal with minimal waste
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style handles a broad range of workpiece materials in a single blade
• Welded construction provides a consistent loop with no mechanical joint to fail mid-cut

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement bandsaw blade for vertical or horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 106-inch blade length with a 3/4-inch blade width. Compatible materials include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator following the saw manufacturer's blade-tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Verify wheel guides, blade guards, and tension settings are correct before resuming operation.
