Lenox 84455CLB144520 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 84455CLB144520 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals in professional fabrication and maintenance environments. Measuring 14 feet 10 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade fits standard bandsaw machines used in industrial and trade shops. The variable pitch tooth geometry runs 10 to 14 TPI, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across varying material thicknesses. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are electron beam welded to a spring steel back, combining wear resistance with the flexibility needed to survive repeated bending cycles.

This blade is suited for metal-cutting bandsaw applications in commercial and industrial settings. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern make it a practical general-purpose choice for shops that cut mixed stock sizes and profiles without swapping blades. It is sold individually and intended for installation by machinists, millwrights, fabricators, and experienced maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex life
• Variable pitch 10 to 14 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent chip load
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style supports contour and straight cutting
• Compatible material range includes stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and carbon and alloy steels

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 14-foot 10-inch by 1-inch blade. Confirmed compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specification on the machine nameplate before installing. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and coiling the blade. Allow the blade to run unloaded for a short break-in period at reduced feed pressure before full-load cutting.
