Lenox 85005CLB113430 Welded Bandsaw Blade Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 85005CLB113430 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. It measures 11 feet 3 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The blade features an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge bonded to a spring steel back, delivering heat and wear resistance through extended cuts. A Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and cutting noise while improving chip clearance. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using vertical or horizontal band saws sized to accept an 11-foot 3-inch blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch configuration makes it effective across varying cross-sections and wall thicknesses, reducing harmonic vibration that occurs with single-pitch blades. It is a practical choice for job shops and maintenance facilities that cut mixed material types without swapping blades. The toothed, milled cutting edge style delivers consistent kerf control on both solid bar stock and structural profiles.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (10 to 14 TPI) reduces vibration and suits a wide range of material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip evacuation and extends blade life
• Toothed and milled cutting edge style for consistent, controlled kerf
• Compatible with a broad range of metals including stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and structural steel
• Pre-welded to 11 feet 3 inches for direct drop-in installation on compatible band saws

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for vertical or horizontal band saws requiring an 11-foot 3-inch blade length with a 1-inch blade width capacity.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the saw's wheel diameter and blade guides are sized to accept a 1-inch-wide blade before mounting. Tension and track the blade according to the band saw manufacturer's specifications before making any cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade coil.
