Lenox 85029CLB113430 Welded Bandsaw Blade 8-12 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 85029CLB113430 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting operations across a wide range of metals and structural materials. At 11 feet 3 inches in length and 1 inch wide, this blade mounts on stationary vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines used in metal fabrication and industrial maintenance environments. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 8 to 12 TPI, which distributes cutting forces across multiple teeth simultaneously, reducing vibration and extending blade life when cutting irregular or variable cross-section stock. The blade back is spring steel; the teeth are high speed steel M42 grade, delivering heat resistance during aggressive cuts.

This blade is suited for professional metalworking applications including job shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations where a single blade must handle diverse material types. Rated for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals, it performs reliably across both light and medium-duty production cutting. The Vari-Raker tooth set pattern minimizes tooth loading on irregular profiles and bundle cutting scenarios. It is sold individually and ships as a single pre-welded loop ready for immediate installation.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch at 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and chip loading across variable cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set provides consistent chip clearance on alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and structural materials
• Pre-welded blade loop at 11 feet 3 inches eliminates field welding and delivers immediate drop-in fitment
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with a 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• LENOX Classic series construction suited for general-purpose industrial metal cutting

Compatibility

Designed for stationary bandsaw machines that accept a 1-inch-wide blade with an 11-foot 3-inch blade loop length. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension capacity on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's safety procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before opening the blade guard or removing the existing blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing clearance after installation and before resuming cutting operations.
