Lenox 87880CLB93035 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87880CLB93035 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. It runs 9 feet 11-1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide, with a 0.035-inch blade thickness and a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, which delivers extended edge life when cutting hard or abrasive stock. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation. Metalworking professionals and maintenance machinists install this blade on vertical or horizontal band saws sized for this loop length.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonic resonance, which improves cut quality and extends blade life on a wide range of section thicknesses. It is appropriate for both production cutting and job-shop use where stock sizes and materials change frequently. The blade is part of the LENOX Classic series and ships as a single welded loop ready to install.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended performance in hard and abrasive materials
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and suits varied stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and cut finish
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and cracking during continuous cuts
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded loop construction — no on-site welding required

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for welded bi-metal bandsaw blades measuring 9 feet 11-1/2 inches in loop length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick on band saws configured for this blade size.

Installation Notes

A qualified metalworking technician or machinist should install this blade. Power down and lock out the band saw completely before removing the old blade or fitting the new one. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and tension settings match the blade width and thickness specifications before powering on. Consult the saw manufacturer's manual for correct blade tension values and tracking adjustment procedures.
