Lenox 85033CLB144265 Bandsaw Blade 14ft 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 85033CLB144265 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Measuring 14 feet in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 8 to 12 TPI, which reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cuts. The M42 high-speed steel teeth are bonded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with flex resistance over extended run times. Licensed metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and industrial service technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cuts on a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern make it effective on both solid bar stock and structural shapes where consistent chip clearance is critical. It is part of the LENOX Classic series and is sold individually as a single pre-welded loop ready for immediate installation on compatible bandsaw machines.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch tooth form (8 to 12 TPI) reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip evacuation and extends blade service life
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Pre-welded loop at 14 feet for direct drop-in installation
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, carbon steel, structural steel, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 14-foot 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 machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the specific saw model. Power down and lockout the machine before removing the worn blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tension and guide bearing alignment after installation per the saw manufacturer specifications. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to prevent injury from tooth contact.
