Lenox 87890CLB103315 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87890CLB103315 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for professional metalcutting applications. Measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, it fits standard vertical and horizontal band saws used in fabrication and machine shops. The blade features a variable-pitch tooth form at 5 to 8 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and produces smoother cuts across varying material thicknesses. The cutting edge is made from M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with flex resistance over long run times. Licensed tradespeople and machinists are the primary installers of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals in industrial and commercial settings, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable vari-raker tooth set is particularly effective when cutting bundled stock, structural shapes, or mixed-thickness materials where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. It is a solid choice for production cutting environments where blade life and cut quality are both priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard metals
• Variable pitch at 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut surface finish
• Vari-raker tooth set handles structural shapes, bundles, and variable cross-sections
• Spring steel back provides flex resistance and fatigue life through continuous use
• 0.058 inch kerf width for consistent, predictable material removal
• Welded construction ensures a uniform, balanced blade loop with no mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed to fit band saw machines that accept a blade measuring 10 feet 10.5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick. Confirm your machine's blade specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or threading the new one. Always confirm blade tension and tracking adjustment per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade to prevent injury from the toothed edge.
