Lenox 87881CLB93035 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87881CLB93035 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. The blade measures 9 feet 11.5 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI. The cutting edge is toothed, milled, and variable, with a Vari-Raker tooth set and an M42 high speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back. This combination delivers heat resistance and edge retention on tough materials. Installed by machinists and metal fabricators, this blade is part of the LENOX Classic series and is suited for production bandsaw cutting.

This blade is intended for use on horizontal or vertical bandsaws cutting a broad range of metals, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and blade noise during cuts, making it well suited for mixed-section work where workpiece thickness varies across a production run. It is not rated for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth and spring steel back for durability under high-cycle use
• Variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life on mixed-section stock
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style for clean, consistent cuts across ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.035 inch blade thickness with a 0.058 inch kerf width for efficient material removal
• No rake angle tooth geometry suitable for straight, controlled cuts in structural and tool steels
• Welded construction for ready-to-install fit on compatible bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a blade measuring 9 feet 11.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool operator familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and de-energize the bandsaw completely before removing the old blade or fitting a new one. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension settings are appropriate for a 1 inch wide bi-metal blade before operating. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety codes when tensioning and tracking the blade.
