Lenox 87884CLB103050 Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft Bi-metal 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87884CLB103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial environments. Measuring 10 feet in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form running 5 to 8 TPI, which reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cuts. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel — a cobalt-bearing grade known for heat and wear resistance — bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue life. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical tradespeople working with structural and alloy metals will find this blade a reliable workhorse on horizontal or vertical bandsaws.

This blade is suited for 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 pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it well matched to cutting varying cross-sections and bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or stall. It is intended for professional shop environments and field fabrication setups where consistent, clean cuts through tough materials are required.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth with cobalt content for extended cutting life in hard and abrasion-resistant metals
• Variable pitch tooth form (5 to 8 TPI) reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation across varying stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent, efficient cutting with reduced blade noise
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking during continuous operation
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style delivers smooth surface finish on cut ends
• Welded construction for a secure, continuous loop with no mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 10-foot, 1-inch-wide blade with 0.035-inch gauge. Confirm your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Always disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing or installing a blade. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as tooth edges present a laceration hazard. Follow the blade manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure — typically a reduced feed rate for the first several cuts — to seat the teeth and maximize blade service life.
