Lenox 87442D2B72375 Bandsaw Blade 18 Tpi 7ft 9.5in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87442D2B72375 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for precision contour cutting across a broad range of materials. Built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, this blade measures 7 feet 9.5 inches in overall length and 0.5 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.025 inches. The 18 TPI constant pitch with a raker tooth set delivers consistent chip clearance and smooth cutting on thin-walled stock, tubing, and solid sections. Installation is performed by HVAC sheet metal tradespeople, machinists, and fabricators working with stationary or portable band saws. The toothed and milled cutting edge reduces breakout and extends blade life on production-volume applications.

This blade is suited for both residential shop and light industrial settings where a variety of material types must be cut on a single blade setup. Rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood, it handles mixed-material jobs without requiring a blade change. The straight tooth form and no-rake angle geometry keep cutting forces predictable, making it a practical choice for operators cutting tubing, bar stock, and profile shapes on horizontal or vertical band saws.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• 18 TPI constant pitch with raker tooth set for consistent chip evacuation
• Toothed and milled cutting edge for reduced breakout on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 0.0430-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Contour cutting capable for curved and radius work
• Compatible with a wide material range including stainless steel, aluminum, and wood

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary and portable band saws accepting a 7 feet 9.5-inch blade length and 0.5-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before removing the old blade or seating the new one. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting.
