Lenox 87886CLB103175 Bandsaw Blade 125 in 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87886CLB103175 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. At 125 inches (10 feet 5 inches) in length and 3/4 inch wide, it fits standard vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in fabrication shops and mechanical trades. The blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, a combination that delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting hard or abrasive stock. Variable pitch tooth geometry (6 to 10 TPI) reduces vibration, controls chip load, and extends blade life across a range of material thicknesses.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 0.035-inch blade thickness and 0.058-inch kerf width make it a practical choice for production cutting where minimizing material loss matters. Typical users include metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, pipefitters, and millwrights running band saws in shop or field environments. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set handle both thin-walled sections and solid stock without blade chatter.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (6 to 10 TPI) reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set controls chip evacuation and minimizes tooth stripping on interrupted cuts
• 0.058-inch kerf width limits material waste on production runs
• Compatible with alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals
• Factory-welded blade joint for consistent tension and reliable tracking on the saw

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use welded bandsaw blade for vertical and horizontal band saws accepting a 125-inch (10 feet 5 inches) blade with 3/4-inch width and 0.035-inch thickness. Verify saw wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the saw manufacturer's tension specifications. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or mounting a new one. Allow a new blade to run-in at reduced feed rate for the first several cuts to seat the teeth and reduce early tooth breakage. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are required when handling coiled or uncoiled blades.
