Lenox 87897CLB113480 Bandsaw Blade 137in 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87897CLB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 137 inches in total length and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable-pitch tooth form at 6 to 10 TPI that reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts. The cutting edge is milled and toothed with a Vari-Raker tooth set and no-angle rake geometry. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance on tough workpieces. A spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous blade rotation. This blade is installed by metalworking and fabrication professionals on vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern makes it effective across varying material thicknesses and cross-sections where a single-pitch blade would generate excessive vibration or noise. It is a practical choice for job shop environments, maintenance facilities, and fabrication shops running intermittent or production-level cutting cycles on a band saw with a compatible 137-inch blade capacity.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• M42 high speed steel teeth provide superior heat and abrasion resistance on hard metals including stainless and tool steel
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent tooth loading
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue and flexing stress during continuous operation
• Milled tooth form delivers a precise, consistent edge profile for repeatable cut accuracy
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches minimizes material loss per cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for band saws requiring a 137-inch blade length with a 3/4-inch blade width. Verify your machine's blade length capacity and wheel size before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw blade handling and tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening blade guards or removing the existing blade. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard. Tension and track the blade according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before returning the machine to service.
