Lenox 85070CLB82690 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10-14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 85070CLB82690 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 8 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 10 to 14 TPI. The blade body is spring steel backed, while the cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel — a combination that delivers both flexibility and edge retention under continuous use. The Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance, making this blade well-suited for production cutting environments. Licensed trades and metal fabrication shops will find this blade a reliable fit for horizontal and vertical metal band saws.

This blade is intended for cutting a broad range of metals in fabrication, maintenance, and structural work settings. The variable pitch and M42 tooth material make it appropriate for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It performs well in both production shops and field maintenance operations where material types change frequently. The 10 to 14 TPI range suits medium-wall tube, solid bar stock, and structural profiles across a variety of cross-sections.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch (10 to 14 TPI) reduces harmonic vibration and extends blade life on mixed stock
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent cut quality
• Toothed, milled, variable cutting edge style for smooth finishes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Welded construction for continuous loop operation on standard band saws
• LENOX Classic series — designed for general-purpose metal cutting across a wide material range

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 1-inch-wide blade in an 8-foot-10-inch loop length. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's guidelines. Always power down and lock out the saw before removing or installing a blade. Verify blade guides, tension settings, and wheel alignment match the blade width and gauge before operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades to prevent injury.
