Lenox 85224CLB93035 Bandsaw Blade 9ft 11.5in 8-12 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 85224CLB93035 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and field environments. Measuring 9 feet 11.5 inches in length and 0.75 inches wide, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical bandsaws commonly used by metal fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics. The M42 high-speed steel tooth construction paired with a spring steel back delivers the toughness needed to cut through hard alloys and structural materials. The variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 8 to 12 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set and no-angle rake geometry make it a practical all-around choice for shops that cut mixed stock without swapping blades frequently. It fits bandsaws with blade paths designed for 9 foot 11.5 inch welded loop blades and 0.75 inch blade width. Typical applications include tube, bar, and structural section cutting in production and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch 8 to 12 TPI reduces vibration and improves finish across varying material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance during continuous bandsaw operation
• 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded loop construction eliminates blade joining in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 9 foot 11.5 inch loop length and 0.75 inch blade width in professional metal-cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Use appropriate blade guides and confirm proper tracking on the wheels before running the saw under load. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
