Lenox 87896CLB113480 Bandsaw Blade 137 in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87896CLB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of metals in industrial and commercial settings. Measuring 137 inches in total length and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it runs on horizontal and vertical band saws used in fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance facilities. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material and variable pitch tooth form at 5 to 8 TPI allow it to handle a wide range of material thicknesses and profiles in a single blade. Licensed technicians and machinists install this blade as a direct replacement or scheduled consumable.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonic chatter, which matters when cutting thin-walled tubing, angle iron, or solid bar stock. It is not intended for contour cutting applications. Typical use cases include production cross-cutting, structural steel fabrication, and general metalworking operations where a single blade must handle varied incoming stock sizes.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel tooth material for extended cutting life in hard metals including stainless and tool steel
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and suits varied material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and smooth surface finish
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous band saw tension
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction provides a uniform, consistent joint for smooth blade tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for band saws accepting a 137-inch blade length and 3/4-inch blade width. Suitable for machines configured to run bi-metal variable-pitch blades in metal-cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with the specific band saw model. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the machine before removing the worn blade or installing a new one. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing clearance according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
